Ever present, if you look around.

> war

Always on somewhere on this planet, and always a threat when the relations between yours and other nations become tense.

> dirt, disease, frustration

All ever present, and experienced by everyone to great extent.

> hunger

In the western "utopia", it's usually a job mishap or a big medical bill away.

> fear, overwork

Ever present and experienced by most of us.

> superstition

Displayed by half of the population, if not more.

Even if we happen to live without experiencing most of these for a while, it's only the most ignorant that don't realize how fragile such situation is.
