If you mean "don't race", I'm right there with you. But stuff happens even in the routine. People gotta get to work, right? Lotsa people permanently disabled or worse in car crashes on their way to work. Or slipping in the shower getting ready for work. Or tripping on the stairs on their way out the door to go to work. Etc.
The worst case is fun/depressing to think about once in awhile, but not a rallying cry as to a way to live life.
