Snake5555555555 11/01/20 5:05:44 PM #331:	7. Fear itself (25 points) Nominated by: Shonen_Bat (0/5 remaining) Importance: 10 Fear: 10 Snake: 5 It's the only thing we have to fear, apparently. Fear is one of our strongest emotions, and can guide our lives completely and utterly if we let it. I mean this whole series I do is based on a genre whose sole purpose is eliciting this emotion out of us. Fear is ubiquitous yet varied. Everyone is scared of something but what that something can be different and can change as we grow older. As children, we tend to more scared of abstract things like the dark or clowns, and we may keep that into adulthood too, but adults tend to be much more scared of bills, something happening to loved ones, keeping a job, etc.. Fear is linked with avoidance, and when we avoid something out of fear, that submits positive reactions to the brain, and though it may feel good in the short term, it's actually one of our biggest detriments in growing us a person, as we increasingly become more closed-off, less open-minded to new possibilities, and hurt our own personal social lives. Fear is both instinctual and acquired. Natural dangers like fire and dangerous wild animals are practically built-in to us; meanwhile getting cut badly or painfully vomiting after a meal can lead to fear of knives and sharp objects and turn us off of certain foods completely. On the more positive, being scared makes us more alert and ready for action, and can lead to snap decision making and pushing ourselves through anything. It can even give off the same adrenaline as something happy or exciting, maybe even becoming addicted to fear. It's a complicated emotion, much more complicated than I could ever lay out, but it's important to note it's neither a good thing or bad thing. It simply is an essential part of life and keeps us alive and engaged with the world like any other emotion, and whether you choose to charge it head-on or ignore it as much as you can, either way, fear is ingrained and will get the better of us eventually. --- Bare feet on the tile with my head up in the clouds https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:946586152] in THE Snake ...
