My toe will heal, the stakes are low. My house burning down on the other hand can have fatal consequences for my cat if I'm not at home.


Depending on where you live, house destroying disasters like earthquakes, floods, and storms have similarly fatal consequences but are statistically more likely to occur. My point is make reasonable preparations and insure any valuable belongings, but thinking about it too much doesn't make it any less likely its going to happen to you.
