Humans have emotions that causes them to think and feel according to the changes in the internal and external environment. A quick search in the internet with the keyword “phobia” will reveal the vast number of things a human being can fear of, ranging from something as benign as fear of darkness (Achluophobia) to something as ridiculous such as the fear of seeing colours (Chromophobia).
Fear itself exists to protect humans from doing things that may be potentially harmful, such as playing with fire, knives and guns. To understand why we feel this fear, we must understand the link between these sources of fear and the feeling of fear itself – Uncertainty.
Nobody would ever look forward to visit the place which smells like iodine and saline. The less fortunate people who end up in the place often worry of not leaving the place through the front door (Necrophobia). Even though the place is often filled with a warm atmosphere of camaraderie, the departure of a neighbour can be disheartening.
People will then say “It must not happen to me because… I…” and ask “What if” questions. Do you think that people actually worry about vanishing into the ethereal world? Yes they do. Why? Because there are people around them, people who know them, people who can bring more uncertainties to them. More uncertainties, more chances, more possibilities.
Picture this, if you were born in an enclosed area and you have neither interacted with anyone nor saw anything else other than the four walls around you in your entire life. Would you even give a hoot about passing on?
No.
I do not fear uncertainties, I fear God.
