Fear of the UNKNOWN.
It is a popular term coined by those who lived in the world.
But how true is it, really? Do humans really fear the unknown?
What of children—babies, even?
They know nothing, yet fear is such a distant emotion for them.
For most, fear is taught… alongside pain, in a way to determine the difference between right and wrong.
… Good and evil.
The fear of the unknown does not exist.
Ignorance never breeds fear—at least not directly. Instead, it is the catalyst for a process that eventually leads to fear.
When we come into the world, we know nothing.
We fear nothing.
But, we grow curious. Then, we learn. We receive the taint of knowledge, which then brings us to a particular point.
The point where we know that there are things that we do not know—blots in existence that hide forbidden truths from us.
This is what breeds fear.
