   I don't get that at all.  If you fear for your life that is a panic   
   attack, and panic attacks always end, so if you do nothing you will be   
   just fine.   
      
   If you feel afraid of some thing, it never ends so fear of using some   
   technical thing can paralyze you with fear and that fear will never end,   
   even if there is no harm in the thing.  If I am afraid when I put on a   
   tiny radio it will destroy all of the electricity in the house,  I can   
   be reassured that this will not happen, but I will still be afraid to   
   use the radio.  Every time I think to use the radio I will see in my   
   mind the house not having electricity for lights and AC and I am afraid   
   to turn it on.   
      Exposure may not cure it.  I may turn it on and off and see the same   
   horrific events in my mind the next time.   
      This is simply an example.   
      But if I feel I will die I can just ignore it, for by the time I get   
   to a doctor I well feel better?  That makes the lesser fear more of a   
   crippler than the greater fear?   
      
   Assuming of course that the physical feeling and the radio feeling are   
   realistically groundless!
