Ok now, what happened with being careful, about sweeping generalizations?

Actually for me, raised in an apocalyptic, crisis-filled environment like a rowboat out in the open sea the decision to flee, while the scariest thing I'd done up to that point, was familiar in that it was filled with dread. Dread of imprending doom from shepherds the system the AC was what I knew, all I had to change was going out to a dread I chose -- ie running into the void and possibly the wrath of God.

What has been very unnatural and hard is the baseline decisions of how to cope with the things that fill a day that is not a 9-11 of sorts (like my running away day was). Learning not to create my own 9-11s out of days that could be ordinary.

Because I knew how to operate under martial law but who would teach me to live in a time of peace?
