This really squeezes my mind grapes. How is that personal dynamics weigh more heavily on human minds than random chance of death? I know that we are social animals but the thought of this is just so alien to me. It makes sense but damn, people being mean to you is more damaging psychologically than being helpless and in danger of an agonizing death?

Perhaps Jung was on to something with his idea of a collective subconscious because at some point one cannot chalk this up to mere superego and body language.

Although, whereas most people have had experience in their early childhood of being screamed at or threatened, very few have had any formative experiences with the weapons of war. Such things are some level of abstract to the potenial sufferer, as are all experiences yet to be experienced.And to understand something before it happens to you makes it much less shocking. The power of early trauma cannot be overestimated it would seem.
