"Fear is a powerful weapon. Fear doesn't give you the freedom to decide."
from the movie "The Sea Inside" by Alejandro Amenabar
Spoken in the context of deciding to pursue assisted suicide because of the fear of an unpredictable decline in health. But I think it has wider application, that our choices become limited when driven by fear; we are apt to impulsively choose the quickest option that returns us to safety when we are motivated by fear.
