Its not so much the knowledge that scares us more so the "feelings" we get that are sometimes uncontrolled.
Some get a rush... or get bored or even get excited on the unknown.
How we each face our "feelings" would be based on what we've experienced and are able to discern.
Also another factor which scientist recently discovered that "fear" and possibly other senses and faucets of our being could be genetically
programed!
www.pinktentacle.com...
simply by controlling its sense of smell. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb — the area of the brain that
receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose — the researchers were able to create a “fearless” mouse that
does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators.
So in closing.. its not the unknown you should wonder about how you would react... be it aliens or someone sneaking up behind you.. like right
now!!!!
lolol.. kidding..
But how we as individuals are in tune with our surroundings.
Peace..
P.S.... Fear is an emotion.. .. its a tool.. it can not prevent the enevitable... our demise here on earth.. so don't fear your existence.. live it..
Love yourself inside and all else will fall in place.. ya cheesy.. but it the summary version of how one can not only conquer fear but use it for an
advantage rather then a crutch. orz
