Courage vs. not seeing danger

Did you ever feel that you seemed to fear something much less than most people do, and wonder whether it was not so much courage on your part but simply not seeing the danger in something? There is a big difference between the two.

A chat discussion we had last night provoked this thought in me.

No, because I evaluate and work through new situations always regardless of how I react. If I do get a fear or wariness response, I do pay full attention to it, seeing why I am feeling that way and working through it.

My final actions are always based on evaluation and intuition rather than an emotional response. If it is a life threatening situation, and there have been times I've been in them, fear just gets in the way and must be shunted aside so I can remain clear headed and respond lightening fast. My evaluations can take place in the blink of an eye and still be thorough.

An interesting thought Nucky. For myself, when I fear something less than someone else, it's usually experience with the situation that eases my fear.
