A: Wars, food safety issues, climate disasters... I feel depressed reading the news headlines lately.

B: Relax, at least we are safe now. We can only hope for a better tomorrow. You can’t go through life meeting trouble half-way. Or you’ll end up paralyzed with anxiety.

Note: The idiom “meet trouble half-way” is an expression that is used to advise someone not to be too worried, grow anxious, or distress oneself unnecessarily over something that has yet to happen.

Example:

Have a good sleep, dear, don’t meet trouble half-way. Trust me, you will have a good time at the summer camp.
