And, when a disaster strikes, I think your prediliction for fear is inversely proportional to your capacity to respond to the tragedy in more concrete ways. I know people on 9/11 who pulled up their sleeves and went to Ground Zero to give aid, but I know many people who could only sit at home, watch TV, write a check, and fret.
