The only thing we truly fear is the unknown.
We are afraid of snakes and spiders because we don't know if they are going to strike.
We are afraid of heights because we don't know if we are going to fall.
We are afraid of strangers because we don't know if they have bad intentions.
If we take the time to learn about the thing we fear, we will find that we are no longer afraid.
It is only then that we can make responsible decisions.
