Therefore,

when faced by danger, 95% of us want to run
away. This feeling is not easily overridden, it is so strong
that most of us will flee before we even know what has
happened to us. This is because when we are in fight or
flight mode, we revert to what is called the mid-brain, and in
mid-brain we are hardly discernible from animals.
My friend was telling me how disgusted he was by the
actions of several men who displayed 'cowardly' tendencies
in a 'virtual reality' ride that he went on in London. This
virtual
reality war game involved a group being locked in a room
and exposed to a pretend war scenario. Several men were in
the room with their girlfriends and wives eagerly
anticipating the fun, when suddenly the doors burst open and
some soldiers burst in with automatic weapons (part of the
game) and opened fire.
