Think about what? Panic is not a survival skill, nor is fear mongering, nor is second-guessing and bad mouthing those at the situation and dealing with it.
There is a time to be brave and time to panic. Of course the more rational the decision you make during that panic is going to increase the chance of survival. But simply ignoring all threats is a good way to end up dead.
You can drive 100 MPH on a windy road if you have no fear. Of course you are likely to end up dead from that.
You Guzzle a gallon of wiskey if you have no fear, but you will most likely die from that.
You can stay in a house that is burning if you have no fear, But that will kill you.
You can jump in deep water even though you can’t swim- you will be dead soon.
You can play with a ball of uranium if you have no fear, but we know how that ends.
And you can run to high ground in fear when a wall of water is rolling in and then you may well survive, as was witnessed in some of the videos from Japan.
Now I agree that if you are in a position to possibly change the outcome of a catastrophic event, and save lives, then you can choose to be brave, And risk yourself for the benefit of others. We call those people Hero’s.
I do not think that all fear is good. fear that interferes with the ability to love, for instance. But survival fear is- well- a part of how we have survived.
AMEN!!!
