Fear; a crazy emotion

Contributed by: Lauren Lopez on 5/15/2006

"Nothing in life is to be feared it is only to be understood."- Anonymous
Fear is a very deep and extreme emotion. The dictionary tells us that fear is an unpleasant feeling of apprehension or distress caused by the presence or anticipation of danger. But what does that really mean? It's a confusing emotion that occurs and sometimes you have no idea where it came from. You don't understand it therefore you fear it. If you encounter something foreign or new you tend to get a little frightened. Say you decide to take on a new challenge in your life. Instead of driving to work everyday your going to car pool with co workers you hardly know. This may scare you and make you a little uneasy. You don't really know these people so you have a very small ounce of fear welling up inside of you. This is a very small example of a small dose of fear. You may be feeling a little adventurous and decide to go skydiving. Your up in the airplane waiting for the moment when the instructor tells you to simply jump out and go for it. This is a huge ounce of fear you don't know what to expect. Before you jump your frightened because you have no idea what the experience will be like. Once you land you may find yourself wanting another go at it. I personally have never skydived nor will ever try it. However, once you try some thing your afraid of you understand it and no longer fear it. At least that's how it works in most situations. In a situation where there is a fear of an emotion, things may turn out differently. People fear falling in love and commitment. They fear these vast emotions because they don't fully know how to explain the emotion. People get scared of falling in love. Love is such an unpredictable emotion that is easily feared. Love and all the string attached to it, is something not even the worlds best scholars could explain. Someone can be scared out of their mind of relationships because they don't fully know how to explain the emotion. People are afraid of this strong emotion therefore they avoid or run away from it. It scares you and because you fear it you escape it. No matter how hard you try or how intelligent you are, you will never fully comprehend it. Not every fear will be understood and not ever emotion can be explained. That means you have to take risks and live life to experience these things.
