The fear of adverse events is usually more severe than the event itself.

This is likely to be the case for President Donald Trump’s extensive tariff plan. Although Trump initially described it as a “reciprocal tariff,” it means the U.S. will match import taxes from other countries, the White House is reportedly considering a 20% fee for most goods and services. According to the Times of India, the number sounds high but is significantly lower than India’s tariffs on automatic imports – a tariff that can rise to 70% according to the Indian era.

Other times, experiencing something bad may be worse than being afraid of it.
