I find fear fascinating. Particularly how it can be manipulated and be used to manipulate. How quickly it can be stirred up and how resistant it is to dousing. That it uses virtually no kindling at all, in fact it can be ignited by pure fiction and amplified by amateurs. It has an egalitarian nature that is as affective en mass as it is on an individual. It froths and lathers either equally into an unrecognizable inhuman thing.
Like fire, that has no equal in terms of destruction, fear loses some of its power when it is understood. Only by understanding the mechanics of it can we make ourselves fear-retardant enough to pass through it.
