When you have a little of something and a mouthful of nothing, you kind of tend to realize the importance of that something. But, sometimes that might not be the case. One could keep complaining about the mouthful of nothing that he’s got, and forget in its entirety the few things that are at hand.
When someone close to you is in a dire situation where in his/her integrity is being challenged along with the basic need to survive in one’s own profession, a certain level of anxiousness is expected to be seen within you. Most of the times it does occur as it makes sense. But it might be the case that you are not as worried as the person himself or even the people who are equally close to the two of you. Consider you are physically away from the situation. No matter what you say, distance does make you a little aloof from what is going on ‘there’. At the same time when it is something about the person you know so well and love so much, you kind of know somewhere that he/she is going to be okay.
Now whether it is the state of being distant from the matter, or the faith one has in the abilities of one’s near ones that makes you less worried or helps you keep your head while others panic; I don’t know. But it sure does help even others return to normal.

I seem to have faintly different reflection/experience/consideration that if you are away from the person who is in need, your concern is more towards him/her..
and this anxiety rests assured only when you yourself try and help her/him out..
ofcourse, the belief in that person assuring you that everything will be okay is another story… but distance never makes you aloof, except for physically.. that’s what I feel.. :)
