What is Fear?

Over the last couple days I have sat and talked to a few of my friends and coworkers are what they fear and why they feared it. Everyone's came about in a different way.

• One of my coworkers David is afraid of dogs because when he was younger he was attacked but a dog and it has scarred him for life. He says he will never own a dog.

• My best friend Kylie is afraid of snakes. She's never really had a contact with a snake. Its just the thought of being bit by one and possibly dying.

• My old debate team mates fear is dying alone. She doesn't want to be by herself when she dies. She spent most of her childhood being alone and this resulted in the fear of being alone.

• My grandma is afraid of falling and breaking something because her sister fell and broke her hip and ever since then her sisters health has been getting worse and worse. She doesn't want that to be her as well.

• My mom is afraid of car wrecks because every one she has had has not been good. One wreck messed up her leg so its a little hard for her to walk. And her most recent wreck she got her car totaled. And that car was her most favorite thing.

After talking to everyone I realized everyone has a different fear or many fears. Some of these fears even have an underlining meaning. Some of them are just people being afraid of death in its self. Peoples fears come about in strange but sometimes simple ways. Or they can come around in traumatic kind of way.
