I don't totally agree with your assumptions. Being prepared for something doesn't mean you live in constant fear of it. I keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen but I don't think that means I feel "mortally threatened" every time I cook dinner. OTOH I do wear a helmet when I ride my bike due to a fundamental distrust of my fellow man, so I suppose it's not cut and dry
