No ones getting out of this alive, the mortality rate is 100% no matter where you live.

Yes you can learn from others mistakes, but you won't learn everything. Nothing teaches like tragedy, and nothing is as hard to really grasp mentally as the fact that tragedy can occur at any time. Reality demands experience or it cannot be seen fully. Since the end of WWII UK- 4 subs...
