>>12289244It appears to me fear is some sort of response to an unknowable danger comsequence. Perhaos when confronted with something we dont understand, we create a spread of scenarios that could happen. With certain subjects, we are led to create darker fates. Thinking of these dark fates suddenly makes us create a darker spread of further events.
Have you ever had the classic fear of going down a water slide with a hidden razor sticking out of it? You imagine what will happen, sliding down the slide safely, but you have this thought that maybe, jsut maybe, you will die from it. Suddenly, you can not help but imagine your own death from going down this slide. You are now incapabke of going dowm the slide even though you really want to, creating stress, this is fear. Same thing with the person, they have unknowable intentions, perhaos they are even very sweet? Howrver, I imagine they are dangerous, and, as i further imagine this creature, its unnatural nature allows me to describe it as possessing some unnatural evil. If it can be inhuman, than who is to say my fate from it will not be inhuman? This, to me, appears to be the basis of fear, especially out of control fear. An imagination of negative events is fien, even helpful, but when you go beyond that into monsters and ghouls, and are paralyzed, you have created an innacurate picture of youur fate that rightfully distresses your antural inclination for truth/logic. Basically, fear of the unknown.
