I never said we shouldn't use our powers of reason and foresight. Reason and foresight are NOT the same thing as a fear response. They are, in fact, very different and precisely the response we SHOULD have. The entire reason for reflex action in the body is to respond to immediate threat. The fear reflex is entirely inappropriate when dealing with longer term problems that require thought and foresight.

We are in agreement. I reread the last part of your initial comment and I see that I somehow misread it. My apologies!
