Fear, Feeling and necessity According to my philosophy
I would like to first share my understanding for the nature of human
beings, and my thinking of the source of the knowledge, so I’ll start
with the meaning of the word terrorism from the origin of it as a word. Terror; is high level of
fear to such a degree it causes to disable some mechanisms in the human
mind. That degree is depending on each human capability to bear different
levels of fear. Sometimes that level of fear starts an abnormal reaction
in the body, like feeling paralyzed or even making some physical changes
in body of the human. We have heard many stories about people had been paralyzed when they have felt deep fear. I have a friend and he was in a dark place, some one came behind him and grabbed tuft of his hair and he terrified as he did not know what it was so he felt deep fear (Like shock) so the hair which his friend grabbed became white while the rest of his hair stayed black. That phenomenon is clearly visible, there are a lot of stories documenting similar events that are easy to find. In simple words, terror is
fear but at a very high level. Fear causes different reactions in
different people. One thing could terrify one person but leave another
with no feeling at all, such as phobias, like fear of spiders! Some people
are afraid to use elevators but for others it's pleasure. Terror is a feeling of
fear caused by over reaction, usually to do with a specific problem or
incident and that level depends on each individual. I am just sharing here
my thoughts on fundamental and principles of human psychology and not
about the circumstances that sometimes influence of our beliefs, like
religion or upbringing for example. Needs for fear Fear is just one feeling of many the humans have, but why did our God create fear and what purpose does it serve? Maybe we can start from how fear helps serve us in our life. In my opinion, fear is our first feeling as humans; we feel it before any other feeling. When our God created us he created the fear as an essential feeling in side the humans. It’s inside us by nature we don’t learn it after in our life from our experiences or from our natural reaction to different effects. When we started our life there are 2 things have influence on our life in our beginning, these are:
Instincts work in our unconscious part of our mind. These Instincts (like hunger, thirst, sex, etc.) are compound with physical actions and causes. Also, instincts are the same between the humans and the animals. Fear as a feeling is working in our conscious part of our mind, and it's subject for our logic thinking. I mean our fear is depending on our thinking completely. Our understanding indicates the amount of danger the things may cause for us. A small gun could kill a human so we have fears from guns, when you point a gun on a human and tell him "give me your money" sure he will give you, because he knows that small thing in your hand able to kill him. Certainly not his instincts convinced him to gives you his money, but the fear of death did. I heard many people asking about "what is the meaning of the life?" nobody know! But we still want much to continue our life by any way or in any situation. Even the people whom are in jails for all of the life have the same feeling as those whom are free. The same for the people whom have obstruction like blind. All humans have the same desire to continue life forever or the longest time. That was the most important matter that erected the philosophy of the humans and composed our mythology. The first one who looked for eternity was my grand father Gilgamesh; he tried hard to beat the death. When all the humans failed to find eternity in this life, they start to think about the other lives, in after death life was one solution to live long in heaven. Reincarnation and metempsychosis another solutions.
