Question

If a person suddenly encounters any terrible danger, the change of nature one undergoes is

equally great. Sometimes fear numbs our senses. Like animals, one stands still, powerless to

move a step in fright or to lift a hand in defense of our lives, and sometimes one is seized with

panic, and again, act more like the inferior animals than rational beings. On the other hand,

frequently in cases of sudden extreme peril, which cannot be escaped by flight, and must be

instantly faced, even the most timid men at once as if by miracle, become possessed of the

necessary courage, sharp quick apprehension and swift decision. This is a miracle very common

in nature. Man and the inferior animals alike, when confronted with almost certain death ‘

gather resolution from despair’ but there can really be no trace of so debilitating a feeling in the

person fighting, or prepared to fight for dear life. At such times the mind is clearer than it has

ever been; the nerves are steel, there is nothing felt but a wonderful strength and daring.

Looking back at certain perilous moments in my own life, I remember them with a kind of joy,

not that there was any joyful excitement then, but because they broadened my horizon, lifted

me for a time above myself.
