Something Could Happen

I think I need to do a study of the nature of fear.  Fight or flight.  I guess that's probably going to be the result of the emotion that I'm trying to complicate.  I get the basic idea: if some big dude with a crowbar approaches me menacingly, spewing swear words and epithets, in a dark alley in a bad section of town in a lawless foreign country, I should be afraid.  It's the weirdness of anxiety about things that aren't currently happening but may happen some time in the future, but probably not that can be unsettling. 

That seems to be a waste of my time.
