You need to be calm and keep your eyes open so that any threat can be viewed without the scared filter.
Being scared hinders your good judgement.
This is my take on it, anyway.

walk, and the result was staggering.
I'm trying to organize a hide and seek tournament, but good players
are really hard to find.

lie, it was a rocky road

Schwarzenegger dolls are and he replied, "Aisle B, back."
What did the surgeon say to the patient who insisted on closing up
their own incision? Suture self.

grapes. It's all about raisin awareness.
