___How eagles respond to concerns___

Concern: “I’m worried that something bad is going to happen to me.”
Concern: “Can you do this one little thing to make sure it doesn’t?”
Eagle: “Bad things happen all the time.”

Concern: “OK, I’m worried that this specific thing is going to happen to me.”
Eagle: “It’s not going to happen.”

Concern: “Well, but it did happen in that country all the way over here.”
Eagle: “Sure, but it can’t happen here.”

Concern: “But it did happen here too, elsewhere in the country sure, but it happened.”
Eagle: “That was several states away. That wasn’t, like, ‘here’ here.”

Concern: “What about that time it happened right in this city, several years ago?”
Eagle: “That was when we were kids, that didn’t count.”

…time passes..

Concern: “So, that bad thing I was worried about that you said couldn’t happen here, happened last night.”
Eagle: “We need to wait until all the data is in. There’s no reason to be concerned yet.”

Concern: “I was there. The specific bad thing happened to me last night.”
Eagle: “Well, okay, maybe. I’d still like to see proof.”

Concern: “HERE ARE PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, RECORDED TESTIMONY. LOOK AT MY BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. SEE MY CAST?”
Concern: “SEE THIS LIST OF THE INJURED AND DEAD? IF YOU HAD JUST DONE THAT ONE LITTLE THING, THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED!!!”
Eagle: “… it didn’t happen to me.”
