and lots of other unconditional feelings.
How do we know to be afraid of ghosts, freddy kruger, and monster type things? After seeing movies and shows where they are personified as horrible beings, we are of course scared of them. But what about the really young kids who have never seen a horror flick, and your pet that freaks out whenever you put a mask on.
Even in Brave New World the unconditional good feeling towards flowers and nature is addressed.
I dunno, discuss a little |

pain is an opinion.....
fear is a point of reference......
"A man is measured by his fearlessness..." Quote from the Chuang Tzu. Taoist text.
In my experience, fear is nothing more than one's acceptance of, or lack there of, the unknown.
