Fear is a thing of the mind. Fear my also be of the heart. Fear is a mental construction of some occurrence or symbol that has significance as a warning of some sort. At least, that's the basics of it, scientifically speaking. It's a complicated subject which I'm not fit to fully describe, but what it does to us is a little more graspable. It makes us quiver, makes us sweat. It makes us stand still and choke our own voices, or causes us to react violently, and loudly. Fear is always lurking, like a predator. Even in your sleep, it hunts. Are we ever safe?
Believe it or not, fear is actually a good thing. Though it preys on us, it never deals a killing blow. It keeps us on our toes, however, cautious, and hopefully, ready, for whatever dangers may truly exist from without. Fear exists, I believe, to keep all animals safe from their dangers. It is a warning, and without these essential warnings, we would have no reason to preserve ourselves and wouldn't be here today. But fear must be controlled. It does restrain us, but it limits us to what we are already familiar with, which culls personal advancement and advancement of the species. Fear and cowardice are two different things.
I have created two drawings using the purple crayon, and I will be presenting them is class this Monday. I will explain what I feel about these two questions in person on that day.
Adios.
