YOLO (you only live once) is also bad advice and philosophy and seems like just an excuse to act terribly.

This was a great article, Dr. Robson. You hit the reality on the head. We all want a fair world because we all know we have little power to influence events beyond our own tiny circle, and it IS scary to think that something could just fall out of the sky and hit us for no reason. Then again, I tell myself, if we believe in free will and want this life to be one where we can create anything we want, then it MUST be a free-wheeling, random place so we can all be creators in it. No one wants to be a puppet on a string.
