The primal emotion
Fear is in a way every emotion mixed into one, but can also cause every emotion known to man. Fear is what drives people to do the everyday things they do, and influences every decision made. It is even why you do your homework, and obey your parents. You fear what they can do to you, what they can take from you, so you do so without question. Where does fear come from you may ask? Fear comes from the instinct to survive. Fear has an odd way of working, you may have two fears, or two things you are afraid of. Lets say you have a fear of heights, and a fear of spiders. Would you jump off a bridge into water to escape the spider, or would you kill it? Of course you would. Fear prioritizes your chances of survival, blocking out one fear, to overcome another. Now imagine that the spider from before had a gun, instead of trying to kill it, you would probably jump off the bridge into the water. That is what makes everyday decisions for us, the over coming of one fear, and acting to do something else. It can even break down to what homework, or job you do first. I may fear one teacher more than another, so if i only had time for one classes homework, Id do the homework from the teacher i feared more. Fear got us to where we are today, and will take us where we are going tomorrow.
