The true inherent danger of fear is its ability to play with our emotions and challenge our perceptions.

Fear is not a pleasant emotion. Fear is not comforting, nurturing, relaxing, or reassuring. What we all can agree on when it comes to fear is: it’s distressing. It’s uncomfortable; and much of the time that we’re in a state of fear, we’re simply seeking to navigate our way back out again.

Fear may arise from a confrontation or from avoiding a threat, or it may come in the form of a discovery.
