The Relativity of Anxiety..

When you're young, sure you think you're invincible, but you still fear stupid things like the no faced boogie man, or barking dogs with big nasty teeth, or flying mad yellow hornets. Then at some point you realize that there is no boogie man, that a dog's bark is much worse than it's bite, and that a hornet isn't really mad at you as long as you don't try to squash it. As you grow older, life experiences help calm your childhood anxieties only to give way to other more grown up fears. Fears of disease and sickness for your family; fears of no face boogie-man like terrorists; fears of the mad tax man. Maybe the tax man isn't so bad as long as you don't try to squash him.
