Many people are faced with different fear’s throughout their life and sometimes have to face these fears daily. Simple everyday tasks like going to work can create fear for someone who has anxiety over what will happen during the day, which may prevent them from accomplishing the tasks at hand. Not being able to do their job well affects people’s morality; therefore, it goes against what is socially right, having a job, and providing for their family. Everyone has a fear, and a lot of people allow this fear to take over their actions instead of overcoming it.

It can be something as small as the
Fear is a common human emotion, but the way some people react is different than others. Although, it is harder on some humans unlike other people. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,” Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.” I think that means that fear harms more people than anything else does in the whole world. Also that people can scare themselves way easier than normal and it’s not healthy.
Fear is a feeling we’ve all felt before and it’s completely humane to feel that way from time to time. Mainly, people have great fears that interfere with their daily life and it becomes a problem. The issue with fears is

Fear is defined as an “unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat”. The effects of fear can cause us to become a totally different person. In the book, The Lord of the Flies, many of the characters went from innocent young child to a brutal savage. “This was a savage whose image refused to blend with the innocent pictures of a boy in shorts and shirt” (Golding 183). The boys arrived on the island looking like proper British boys from a civilized place, and left the island
The idea of fear is a fairly simple concept, yet it carries the power to consume and control lives. Fears have stemmed from an inadvertent psychological response to situations deemed threating to one’s personal safety, but have evolved into a complex web of often illogical misconceptions which are able to cloud a person’s judgment and result in situations often worse than originally intended. Fears can be hard to quell, but it has been shown the best way to overcome fears is often to face them, as author James Baldwin asserted when he wrote, “To defend oneself against fear is simply to insure that one will, one day, be conquered by it; fears must be faced.” Baldwin makes strongly qualified statement, and his idea fears must be faced to

“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living in our fears.” (Les Brown). This is observed in numerous instances in The Book Thief. In the novel, fear can cripple indistinguishably as physical injury by subjugating one’s tenets, forcing paranoia down their throats, and ever so carefully whispering the panic. This may result in either a cracking, collapsing whimper or a roaring laughter.
Fear can cause our thinking processes to be distorted and irrational. It may create negative anticipation of things to come. It could cause excessive worrying of what others think or a fear of God’s wrath (Nichols, 2010). Fear sometimes makes the emotions of the individual get out of control with anger, anxiety, depression, and worrying (Nichols, 2010). In the book, all of these emotions are addressed and insight is given to help overcome them. It is important to do the necessary hard work to untie these knots in order to bring a person back to a healthy emotional state of mind. If the fear is not dealt with properly, it can also lead to negative physiological changes to the body as the immune system is weakened

Fear and desire play an important part in all of our lives. They are the yin and yang of the human mind. You cannot escape them. You cannot avoid them. They are always with you, deeply rooted in your conscious and unconscious mind. They control every decision big and small. Every day of your life is manipulated by them. They are so simple, yet so complex. The two concepts are a part of every person’s human nature, but we all have different specific fears and desires that are tailored just for us.
