Fear comes daily and often in our lives in the form of stress, worry, anxiety and in a variety of other wasteful and negative forms. Let us look at some of the types of fear human beings suffer from:
* The unknown - for example, death or a new situation.
* Loneliness - sometimes people fear loneliness to the extent that they cannot bear their own company, preferring to lose themselves in superficial (artificial) relationships and activities.
* The future - as the problems of the world increase, whether political, economic, environmental or social, this creates, or adds to, personal and collective fear of the future.
* Illness - sometimes because of fear of disease, people make their sickness worse than it is, or live in fear of inflicting (getting) something horrible.
* Other people - usually this is the greatest fear of all: fear of others' anger, rejection, judgement and violence.
