Fear:  An unpleasant emotion caused by the BELIEF that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.
Fear is only the belief that things are dangerous.  That is why so many people can be scared of something so unlikely.  Its only a belief that something is scary or dangerous.

Marcel the shell has an irrational fear that if she drinks to much soda the bubbles will make her float to the ceiling...  That seams totally bizarre to humans but I am sure that for a shell it is a real fear.  I would be afraid of that if I were a shell...


We need to know our fears so that we can either avoid them or overcome them.
Overcoming them is scary but that is an irrational fear.
