Or you might get stuck in a swamp

Recently I went to a science center in California and had a good time. There were plenty of different things to do and everyone enjoyed the experience.

My favorite part was that they had very large dinosaur skeletons or fossils throughout the main floor. This still impresses me as an adult.

What killed off the dinosaurs? That’s a long academic discussion but I’m sure a few of them got stuck in a swamp somewhere and couldn’t escape. That’s sad but it happens sometimes.

As humans, we also need to protect ourselves from swamps, quicksand, and dangerous territories.

What do I mean? Physical danger?

I don’t necessarily mean to always be thinking about swamps and these types of dangers, although it is important. Definitely do these things.

It’s important to keep yourself mentally active. Escape the doldrums. Keep busy and stay positive.

There are dangers in this world. You must protect yourself and do whatever you can to survive in this world.
