The nature of fear

We are all afraid of something. Engraved into the mind of every human is some form of fear, whether it’s the fear of failure, the fear of rejection, or the primitive fear of death.

Fear is one of the most powerful human emotions instilled in us from birth. Fear has been with us since the beginning, and it will be with us until the end.

Fear seems to bring nothing but hopelessness into our daily lives, so why do we still have this primal instinct coded into us? Fear is the mechanism of keeping the body alert to danger, protecting it, and allowing us to survive.
