Looking at the northern lights, sitting in a hot tub, meditating and listening to a gong, marijuana, giving someone a hug, cooking horse chestnuts on a hot stove - Wait...
Nothing is 100% safe.. remember..
BUT - In the scenarios where you're still alive, the amount of pain that you can tolerate, the beginning of damage (As everything is in decay as well as creation) - and second hand pain empathy or cognitive dissonance, block it all out..
It's a reason why everyone has "schizophrenia" (Like how everyone has symptoms of all mental illnesses and isn't a problem unless it effects your quality of life), cuz everyone is blind to what they can't see.. or sense.. etc.
Perspective, and ignorance (Everyone is ignorant in some way).
It can be hard, that pleasure seeking can cause a lot of ignorance - But there needs to be balance, which is the most important thing - And then not as much harm is done. idk.
