Season of the Shark

As a scuba diver, I have had frequent and always exhilarating encounters with several species of sharks--sometimes as many as 30. As an astronomer, I have commonly and excitedly viewed dozens of beautiful shooting stars. Being bitten by a shark or struck by a meteorite would be extremely serious and possibly fatal. Yet given the probability, it appears that the greater danger for our anxiety-prone society is not in the seas or the stars but in ourselves. If we are overcome by the imagined risk of unlikely death, we may miss the elusive chance to fully live.
