In reply to the discussion: Elmer's Glue [View all]H2O Man
(77,857 posts)8. Thank you!
Sometimes, I'm reminded of my own thought processes when I have a medical appointment. No matter how routine, I tend to go to worst case scenario in the days and hours before the appointment. "What if they find something terribly wrong?" But that has only been true in a couple of times! (grin) Yet, that is a very real part of human behavior. However, it is one that can be overcome with rational thought. For example: they are sick, we are not. They are weak, we are strong. We are capable of making that our first nature, since it is absolutely true.
