Fight or Flight

Today I had a revelation, after going through neighbourhood life, school and the destroyer of worlds the army, my flight or fight response was so sharply tuned that it was no longer possible for me to relax.

Symptoms of the flight or fight response, tense muscles, focus on the things which seem wrong in the environment, state of readiness. Happens whether real or perceived.

Probably why I longed to have a military life where the flight or fight response is a comfortable place to be.

Also why I always seem to be able to pull the negative aspects of every situation out and start to think of how to solve or avoid them.
