Suffering from an imagined similarity

It's starting to seem to me that a large percentage of the suffering in the world is not about what's actually happening, but about the fear that something that one thinks has happened before is happening again.

We react to the idea and not to what is actually happening. Like the snake/rope story in the Vedanta (which i have not read, but I have heard others talk about this.)
