Wow, it is interesting as you wrote how we humans prioritize without even noticing it. I think it is some kind of evolutionary safety measure whereby when faced with imminent danger, your body doesn't have to wait for you to think for a way out before reacting.
Great engaging post @suesa. Definitely learnt from it. Keep up the good work.
I really love this comment....
The Only time the body tells you about a way out is the only time when things have gotten out of hand.... When it is now a must to do or carry out palliative remedies...
