What is real?

Compare your own personal experience with what is presented to you by mass communications.

There is a solid disconnect.

They claim thousands die of influenza every year.
I tried to think of any personal knowledge I have of someone who died of the flu. I couldn't think of even one! Finally I remembered a relative who died in the 1918 epidemic. That was it.

On the other hand, I have had lots of personal acauintance with automobile deaths.

The world I see every day is pretty good and wonderful and even delightful. That is the real world. I hear of so much bad stuff, but that is not my experience.

What is your experience?
