It is when they in a blind fit of fear smash into the wall, breaking their nose, get a concussion, and injure themselvesXander wrote:Is that necessarily true? Is it reasonable to fear mice? Many, many folks would be afraid of a mouse running across the floor of the room they're in. Enough people that it's certainly within the scope of normal human reaction. Does that mean that the mouse, by definition, constitutes a real and reasonable threat to the life and well being of that individual?frankie_the_yankee wrote: If something is a normal human reaction, it must by definition be "reasonable" for a human being to experience it.
A good friend of mine a big burly 6'4" and built like a tank Marine would NOT get in his truck until that itty bitty spider that was on the inside of his windshield was killed and removed.
Tell me fear is NOT a valid reaction and you will be wrong..now fear for you life and imagine what a person is capable of!
And you are right...training cannot eliminate or offset fear, but it can give you a solid base in which to react...because someone in "fear" will not rise to the occasion, but will fall back to the level of training and REACT instinctively based upon their level of training
