It's the
[[Michael Shermer]] thing: if we ignore the rustling in the grass and
it's the wind, no harm done. But if we ignore it and it's a tiger,
we're dead. So rationally, we behave as though everything is a tiger,
without necessarily realizing that reflexively doing that has a pretty
high price-tag.

Interesting. On the other hand, in my very own case, I think that if it's a tiger, then I'm dead anyway: I'm not a warior able to win against a tiger with bare hand, and I'm not sure on this but isn't the average tiger a better sprinter than the world biggest human champion in this field?

It may me think of the quotation, which I red, may be on this list, (attributed to the Dalai Lama in the document where I found it): "I there's a solution there's no need to worry, and if there is no solution, there's no need to worry".


Anyway, yes. Patience, maturity, self-control and generosity for the win :-)
Sue
