Is there such a thing as too laid-back?
Only from the heart can you touch the sky. - Rumi

There can be, I think.

An immediately-obvious example would be fight or flight situations. Too much detatched consideration or quiet inaction there can be disastrous.

Yes, if you fall backwards out of your chair.

I've done that before.

So have I. My old office chair was prone to back-rest lock malfunctions. Ah, fun, adrenaline-filled times!

...I've bought a nice gaming chair for work since. It's a bit hard, but that's how I prefer them. Feel free to insert a penis joke right here since... Kind-of asking for it. :smilenod:
