Ides comes from an old Latin verb iduare, which meant "to divide." It was the Roman term for the day that came in the middle of each month. So Beware... but all it means is "halfway through the month." Every month has an Ides. March had 31 days, so the Ides of March is on March 15.
How about:
Dangers of smoking... active inhalation and passive
Dangers of not taking care of ourselves, included by not limited to:
Regular screenings, regular physicals, nutrition, mental health, physical health, emotional health
Dangers of judgments and prejudices
Dangers of extremists and extremism... included by not limited to:
Liberals, feminists, Islamic state, the two major parties, social justice warriors, racial justice warriors
Dangers of texting, 'Snapping, 'Gramming, Tweeting, and 'going live' while operating heavy machinery
Dangers of news outlets with bias or ill intent
Environmental dangers, and how we contribute to them
Social dangers, and how we contribute to them
Societal dangers and how we contribute to them
Dangers of being too afraid to fail that we do not reach our fullest potential. Mic drop.
Take a moment to review your life and find the 'dangers' you may have control of. You cannot assist someone else with their 'dangers' if you don't have your own in check.
