Em pânico

Quando leio "Rajoy: "Há instituições em Espanha que nem sequer conseguem financiar-se" penso:

.
- Este tipo está em pânico!
.
Depois, vou buscar o "Deep Survival" de Laurence Gonzales e escolho meio dúzia de citações que suportam a minha conclusão:

"The first lesson is to remain calm, not to panic. Because emotions are called “hot cognitions,” this is known as “being cool.”
…
Only 10 to 20 percent of people can stay calm and think in the midst of a survival emergency. They are the ones who can perceive their situation clearly; they can plan and take correct action, all of which are key elements of survival. Confronted with a changing environment, they rapidly adapt.
…
You’re sitting there sucking oxygen, you’d better have a plan. Because if you don’t, you’re screwed, and then you’re fucked.
...
The first rule is: Face reality. Good survivors aren’t immune to fear. They know what’s happening, and it does “scare the living shit out of” them. It’s all a question of what you do next.
...
Survivors “laugh at threats… playing and laughing go together. Playing keeps the person in contact with what is happening around [him].” To deal with reality you must first recognize it as such. … if you let yourself get too serious, you will get too scared, and once that devil is out of the bottle, you’re on a runaway horse. Fear is good [Fear puts me in my place. It gives me the humility to see things as they are]. Too much fear is not."

Percebo perfeitamente porque é que Camilo Lourenço, esta manhã,  confessou ter saudades de Zapatero, apesar de nada tenha feito no seu consulado para evitar o desastre.
