The fear in every-day life

In different situations fear of the person may be manifested with the help of different levels of the fear. The fear may show itself in the form of emotionally raised and bad mood. Very often when the fear is very intensive it turns into terror. And terror-struck person is able to do anything as this person can't control his/her behaviour suffering from regular depressions and worries.

Sometimes the fear may show itself through phobias. The lack of self-control may lead to social problems, improper behaviour and stupid, dangerous and rash deeds.

Some philosophers especially those who consider this phenomenon from moral point of view think that the fear is negative emotion with harmful consequences. Other philosophers especially those who consider the fear to be mainly biological phenomenon think that it is positive because this state of organism tells us about the danger.

These points of view may be true. Sometimes fear may play positive role saving the life of people. But sometimes it may cause harmful consequences. The self-preservation of the person is based on fear and pain. And it becomes dangerous when it lasts for a long time.

People who can't control their fear and are afraid to do natural and ordinary things are called cowards.
