The nature of fear

[Epoetker]

I'd disagree. I've never been in a situation where getting food was out of my control and I went hungry, but I've still got a fear of starving to death. I've never been in a situation where one of my limbs was threatened, but I've got a fear of dismemberment

Because you've seen or heard about others who starved to death. I fear it less based on the fact that I have fasted both voluntarily and involuntarily. I guarantee you that people in countries with lots of land mines fear dismemberment a whole lot more than you do.

[Moksha]

Fear is, at bottom, the remembrance of the failure to control a situation to your own advantage in the past. And that is why the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, though not its end.

Though in times of great and overwhelming fear, the simple and innocent will be sought after most of all. Or drugs that can regress one temporarily to a simple and innocent state.

WHAT?

Fear is a response to the possibility of death. The more imminent the possibility, the more fearful we are.

[David20]

Great knowledge to share and fear according to me is again directly approach to brain and neurons which are self responding and auto responding to every thing in favor of us or not.The fear is any thing which the brain accepts unusual and unwanted for us.
