I think we are able to look at problems that haven't occurred yet and look at them more rationally and logically, but when it actually hits us we tend to turn to our emotions and sometimes they get the better of us. Take for instance, if you were thinking about how you would have a child and how you would raise it, but once it happens emotions tend to dictate our actions and what you were planning on doing originally could change drastically.
I don't know though, I feel like someone could probably explain this a lot better than an idiot like me ever could.
