The wish for survival comes before the wish for curiosity. The severely alcoholized patient who is acting with access to violence can be a sad person expressing the suppressed rage of abandonment but could be a potentially dangerous person looking for the pain, own or that of others. Instinctively we scan for danger before we look for origins of the behavior. Rapid jumping to conclusions could have long-lasting consequences
