Walking down a long lane in the dark and the lone street light goes off . How'd you react? A majority of people would halt in their tracks(even if its only for a second).A single human eye has the range of 150 degrees whereas use of both eyes enables you to span an area with 180 degrees subtended at your eye. But when the sun goes below the horizon and you are enveloped in complete darkness, you are as well off as a person with no sight.(Assuming you do not have any man or machine-made device at hand in this situation).
Another situation : Alone in a place ... you get a weird feeling of being watched every second (especially if its night time).Or someone is about to pounce on you from behind. This feeling is creepy and believe me or not, you are not being paranoid ..its natural and its just the lack of a pair of eyes at the back of your head that make you feel like this.
It is in situations like these when fear sets in.
FEAR-A natural shot of adrenaline which cripples you and renders you incapable of movement (though some are able to gather enough courage to scream).
Humans , by the very definition of humans, are afraid of whatever they cannot comprehend.
Certain everyday observations:
The conclusion is simple....." You fear what you don't know" or in other words " Man fears the unknown." So, if you don't like to live in constant fear, make sure you "know".And this you can be done (exceptions include "darkness" unless you can wear night goggles all night and somehow miraculously have an extra pair of eyes which'll give you a full 360 degrees view).

Certain everyday observations:
- We plan for the future ...and why is that ? Because we worry about what will happen because we are unaware of it .Surely, nobody plans for the past ! (Because most people who are not affected by amnesia are aware of it).
- All the Hindi (& supposedly) horror movies have got one thing right ...the protangonist is always scared of something he / she can't see or is not able to supplement with some rationale. And its only his or her curosity or the fear of losing someone dear that makes them overcome their fear and live in the present and find the antidote to Fear.
