Think of air like the roads we drive. Some are smooth new asphalt, some are old loud roads, some are dirt lanes, some are bumpy and full of potholes. Same with the air you fly through. When you drive on a bumpy road, you don't lose control of your car that easily...and pilots are the same way with their aircraft.
you know, i've tried to tell myself this exact thing..and it calms me momentarily..then i remember that when you don't drive at 30,000 feet and if you lost control hitting a pothole you wouldn't fall out of the sky.
