Proves that fear is always larger than that which is feared. Over the years i had the opportunity to ask seniors: “Is fear ever a good strategy?” Most would ponder the question for a bit, and respond thus: “..well, i can’t think of any situation improved by being paralyzed with fear. .. it ruins your ability to think clearly and deal with it” Old Winston Churchill was right about that.

This morning, I was awakened by an earthquake. Quick hard jolt. It wasn't very big and there were no damages, but I live within a couple of miles of the epicenter, so I definitely felt it.
I went through the San Francisco earthquake in 1989 and ever since then, any shaking puts me a little on edge. In 1989, the ground shook, like a precursor- then it REALLY started to shake. The small rush of fear when I woke up was in part because I was startled out of my sleep, but I know it also comes from my previous experience - is the bigger jolt coming? The waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.
Even all these years later, it is surprising how embedded fear can be. I wasn't hurt, no one in my family suffered. But it was a very visceral experience.
"Old Winston Churchill was right about that." Nothing can make up for his mistake to ally with Stalin's Bolshevik Communists, the same people who have their boots in our faces today.

But Churchill was afraid of women that’s why he was addicted to his cigars

I agree. Patton got that right. But Mr Churchill made a good point about fear imho.
