“You are standing at the top of a flight of stairs. It leads into darkness. The stairs are not steep. And there is a banister....”
For the record, every flight of stairs I’ve ever fallen down has had a banister. Indeed, on several occasions the banister has been the problem, or at least has contributed to the damage. And yet I feel no fear.
“Down you go...one step...another step...everything’s fine and safe and secure....”
