Familial negligence in elementary years,

Driving through road-blocks,




Uncertainty.



Dropping the pizza,

Often irrational,
   bad,

Camel spiders and snakes,

Loss of control,

Peeing your pants,





Bone-chilling



Beer eliminates fear.



Corrupt leaders and politics,

the unknown, the dangerous;



a basic emotion,
a defense mechanism,
a mentality,
protective,
a hindrance,
a motivator,





extremely complex, yet so basic.

Modern humanist social anxieties.
so strong that it stops actions, freezes situational progress.
does not allow the entity to make moves in harm's way.

provocative for offensive moves,
the extra push of adrenaline enabling someone to lift a car to save another.


Complex sentient beings empathize the fear in others, and project it onto others.


The fear of compromised freedom can be the catalyst to an organized protest of a handful or thousands of people against a potential or occurring government action.


A threat.

Paralyze--ation.

A jolt of the heart.



Fear is like love, linked to love, with its severe stress and anxiety




What if you turned fear into love?
