Is that Fear or Love? If you know of an impending doom and you do nothing is that being brave or foolish? Is stocking up on things when something may happen Fear or Love? I'm not stocking up on ammo, or building an underground shelter, I'm merely providing an avenue to feed my family in an event, not out of fear, but love for my family. I didn't stock up on water, only basic foods which I can eat today, which btw I haven't stocked up on yet, I am building supply every week as we do our normal shopping. I probably won't need the food, but am I hurting anyone? Fear makes us act irrationally, is it irrational to store extra food if a food shortage is possible?
