If you're frightened, edgy, wired, and I tell you there's a bear behind you, you'll spin round and look for it. Tell you the same thing when you're relaxed and laughing and you'll think I'm joking. The difference isn't the information; it's where you are when it arrives. In FEAR, RAGE PANIC-GRIEF, the nervous system isn't weighing possibilities. It's collapsing them. Anything is possible, as long as it's likely to be bad.
