I take it you have had some annoying issues with healthcare. I understand that. It ain't cheap anymore.

No. I meant that seniors have some difficulty with fear in general. It may be due to some disturbance with the chemical levels of serotonin in the brain.

If a person is suffering from abnormal fear, he/she does not look at it as abnormal fear and will argue that it is just using common sense to address the perceived danger. Just as a person who is hoarding does not look at it as hoarding but just keeping items that can be used eventually.

Fear is NOT a character weakness in this case, or a reaction to social issues. It appears to be a symptom of aging in some cases.

If we have it, we probably don't think we have it...

Gotta go see if I locked the front door.....
