The airline incident was an example of how people react differently to a situation, with a select few that can have dramatic reactions to a situation, either because of an internal or external condition. You know, as in to extend the point of how "puffy feet" can be a relatively minor annoyance for most, but for some it can be much more serious.
Well, you had the two things in the same very run-on paragraph, and I just wanted to clarify that they are not the same thing most of the time.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
