(4,452 posts)It really comes down to situational awareness. As a species we have become too divorced from the world in which we live. I may be the outlier because I always invest the bulk of my energy observing the world around me. I understand the threats to my health and welfare because I pay attention to how others interact with the world. Even the smallest tell like what a driver is looking at, how they position their hands on the wheel, or how they move around in their seat tell me what I need top pay attention to.
I'm old and poor enough to recognize that every lack of attention of others could be a threat to my health and welfare.
I can't afford to pay the price of dismissing the threat so my level of attention is probably much greater than that of most people.
