"If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They might break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds." C.S. Lewis
Lewis’ counsel is probably equally valuable regardless the danger, be it an atomic bomb, or a terrorist invasion, or outlandishly high violent crimes... They may break our bodies, but they need not dominate our minds.
