Not all of them, clearly. If you avoid doing things due to a fear of dieing, you will never live. Being alive is not the same as living. Someone is a coma is alive, but they arent living. Living in fear is a half life. By your logic, we should never drive anywhere, because of the number of people who die in car accidents. We should not have skyscrapers, or power lines, or bridges, because the construction and maintainace of them is really dangerous and people could die.
The guy is right. You are all missing the point. How do you think prehistoric humans traveled? How did the humans travel from what is now Russia to North america to become the "Native Americans"? You think they charged it to their Amex? Or took out a second mortgage. No. If you want to travel, use your feet, hop a train, get a job on a ship and use it as free travel then quit. Traveling takes money, or courage, the less money you have, the more courage you need, the more money you have the less courage you need. Its not complicated.
I had $0 to my name and a junk truck, I sold the junk truck for scap, bought a ticket to fly 2,500 miles to a start i have never been to. To stay with a comunity I had never met or messaged. As a result I was having my phone bill paid, my room and board free, staying in a 1.5 mil home in L.A. county, then I got a free trip to Southern asia where I got to travel to 5 countries. I had free room and board, didnt spend a dime on travel. No catch, no danger, no suffering. $0 to see India, Napal, Myanmar, Cambodia, & south korea. I didnt know any of these things awaited me. All I knew was I was going to stay with a comunity i had not met. But I had courage and trusted in my Karma. And had the best years of my life. And was able to help thousands of people. Now I am known around the world by thousands as a kind and intelligent helper of humanity. And I have never been a social media or youtube influencer. I did it all accidentally. Because I had good karma, and courage. Not money.
