Fear

What are people afraid of?

That’s a good question.

Indeed. Especially because everyone is afraid of something different. I mean, you’re afraid of small dogs, for example.

So are you.

Touche

Of course, whom or what’s to say that people should be afraid?

What do you mean?

Well, fear is by definition a survival instinct. It’s what inspires the “fight or flight” response we’re all familiar with.

Is that a direct quote?

Of course not.

Huh. I could have sworn I said that.

Well in any case, the reason I say that fear is a good thing is because it helps set a limit to what a person can or can’t do, and when they know when to stop doing something.

I have to say I agree with you.

That’s a relief. It would be ludicrous if you didn’t.

Now that’s a scary thought.

Indeed.
