If you are ever afraid, ask yourself why. The thing is, we control our emotions and even though you can't turn it off completely I believe that our mind is the biggest obstacle. Fear is nothing more than an obstacle that our minds have to overcome.

Now even though I say this it is easier said than done.  But Honest question.  What are you afraid of and why?  

What causes us to be afraid of something exactly?

Chemical imbalances in the brain....it's a trait passed down via natural selection.

Of course, those who are more willing to run or right with a predator rather than just let them be eaten will be a lot more genetically successful. Thus the "fight or flight" reaction.

Our brain tells us what to fear. I guess you could say primal instinct but what about people who fear the dark or boogie man? We know they don't exist but people still get scared by it anyway.

I think we fear what we believe something to be like or what it has. In a way we give it control over us even if it has done nothing to us. So what's I'm trying to say is there's no reason to be fear.

It's normal to feel fear. It's anxiety, and panic that people need to overcome.

Fear is a natural protection. It prevents you from doing or trying everything when it could potentionally be dangerous or damaging.

I fear mice because a few years ago, a team of mice nibbled my dog to death while he was sleeping. When he woke up, he was dead! It was so gruesome that I saw the whole thing go down while I was dreaming.

We fear because we are mortal beings in a world full of dangers.

Clearly, he is undead.
