Panic situations, as the brain interprets them, assault us regularly. When I say “panic” I don’t necessarily mean being attacked in a crime. It could be a matter of having 3 different choices thrown at you all at the same time. You stop. Feel a bit panicky and wait while your brain makes a decision.
The other day I was at the grocery store. As I was taking off my seat belt I saw an elderly man just outside of the store crumble and fall to the pavement. I swear it happened in slow motion (more on that phenomenon at a later date). I am sure that I stopped for a second.
