The call of the void is a natural instinct evolved to help judge possibly (dis)advantageous choices.

As long as you label it as an "intrusive thought," and it isn't incredibly (daily) common, that is perfectly normal.

I always figured that the "call of the void" was to illustrate to us what a careless movement could lead to. So that we will shy away from the edge or constantly second guess our movements for danger while we remain.
