  • Some dangers are so spectacular and so much beyond normal experience that the mind refuses to accept them as real, and watches the approach of doom without any sense of apprehension.

He may simply be unable to believe that the message of his eyes concerns him personally. It is all happening to somebody else.

By laughing at something you also take away the perception that it has any power over you.
