Fight or Flight

Filed under: John Morgan's Blog — John Morgan @ 6:54 am

We’re all familiar with the “Fight or Flight” response. When fearful, we either fight or flee.

I think during this time of high volume, political dissention that we should highlight the less often discussed reaction to fear – Freeze!

It’s not factual that reaction to fear is an “either or” proposition as in “Fight or Flight.”

Dogs when faced with fear will engage, run away, or just be paralyzed in place by fear. Such is the case for humans as well.

Registered voters will either vote or not vote; those not registered freeze.

The current actions of those engaged in the political process make others so fearful of that process that they freeze in their tracks and do nothing. How sad.

It’s your right to vote or not vote. You remove that choice when you freeze.

I wonder what the percentage is of people who rail against the political process, but when it’s time to take action, they just freeze?

Bitching and moaning is a right guaranteed by the first amendment, yet I don’t think the founding fathers expected a people who were thirsty for liberty and freedom to freeze.

This is really a rant about those who complain and do nothing about it. They freeze their complaint in place by their inaction.

Words without action are just words.

Sometimes it makes sense to retreat so that you can fight another day, but you negate that choice when you lie there and do nothing.

 

All the best,

John
