HUMOR IN UNIFORM
The Difference
Between FEAR and PANIC
Here
is an anecdote narrated by General VK Singh in his recently published autobiography
“COURAGE AND CONVICTION”
After a training session on the topic of
morale, a soldier was asked to explain the difference between “fear” and
“panic”.
The soldier replied in Hindi:
Saab,
phear [fear] dar hota hai! Yeh
hamare level pe hota hain
(Fear means being afraid and this happens at our level, to
soldiers)
Panik
[panic] unche darje ka dar
hota hain jo officer level pe hota hai
(Panic is a higher level of fear which happens to officers)
Like the Army, this seems quite true in the
Navy too, isn’t it?
Soldiers (and sailors) may experience FEAR
But it is the officers, especially the senior
officers, who PANIC
Do you agree?
