Unless a person is in the habit of jumping straight to kill mode from fear or addiction, the Lower Nature is geared to be lazy until needed.
Without danger our Upper Nature is just laid back and enjoying just looking around, entertain a few emotions, think a little, and do a little. The Lower Nature waits until it recognizes there is danger around.
Once fear is activated, be it from the unknown or from past experiences of danger the Lower Nature gets alerted and is ready to go.
We become more selfish and active and follow the fear’s lead to run from the danger.
As Cuddles shrinks so does empathy. As Geru shrinks feisty Coyote grows and wants to fight. A lot of people are in the habit of going to the Fight stage in certain situations that they are defensive about. Fear is still there warning everyone to be careful so no one is hurt.
Once fear is gone KILL mode steps in if they see no other solution to feel safe and happy. There is no longer a fear of someone getting hurt. Now we have a psychopath that could become a sociopath and hurt lots of people.
