A little boy cries, tugging his blanket behind him. "I-It's the darkness moma..." It's the darkness. Did you know....That the boy is blind? How do you fear darkness when you have no perspective of light? We do it everyday. We fear things that will most likely never happen. And we know that, too. But it clouds our hearts all the same... We fear sickness, death, rejection, having no perspective of the future or what it will bring. A mother's warm embrace comforts the boy and stems the flow of his tears, lulling him back into a deep sleep. The fear is gone. But what can stop the darkness, the fear that clouds our hearts? "It's the light mama..." He murmurs.... It's the light.

nice, one way to clear the darkness(fear) is to face it with no cost(like an infected person trying to kill you but instead you take a baseball bat and whacked it so many times its blood is black and died)

Fear is not that of which is unavoidable, which is anxiety, but is an emotional response to threats and danger. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of pain.

Fear is the slowing of neutrons in the brain very gradually, that slow the process of moving cells. Our brain recognizes danger and does so to not have the body go into shock. From slowing the cells comes the paleness of skin tone when oxygen does not reach the heart fast enough, and this also makes our surroundings feel colder.
