Ruth Dugdall Anxiety Optimism Pessimism Superstition

...human beings have a distorted view of risk. They don't see the whole picture. Our perceptions are twisted by stories in the media, by films, by our own personalities and experiences.

It's kind of a protective pessimism: if we worry about the worst happening, it may miss our door.
