We are all human. And our brains are vulnerable to "thoughts" such as this, flashing through our consciousness. What is important here is that you recognized that thought for what it is. As noted in the OP, we all experience the same fears; it's how we process them that is important. This story provides a good example of how we counter such fears. Thank you!
