Fear, now thats a funny thing, we've all had it at some time or other, ( depending where you where and what you where doing ), but fear can really get at you, fear of rats, or dogs, or snakes, but with snakes you can look at the mouth, and if there are two scales above the mouth, then its not poisonous, but if there is only one scale, then it is poisonous, ( mind you, if you're that close to the snake to see the scales its already too late,) there has been times when I was scared .hitless, .
fear is not knowing, or not knowing what you're looking at turns into fear, its only a fool that doesn't know fear,.
So next time something goes bump in the night, ( send the misses out to have a look)
. knowledge is the master of fear, when you gain knowledge, you loose fear, its the same for scorpions, if/when you see one, look at the pincers, if they are large thick pincers, ( the sting will make you very sick, but you wont die ), but the scorpion with the small pincers, take care, they can kill you, ..... you see, when you know theses things, fear turns into be "carefull with that, mode " and not running out the room screaming.
I was in a hot country, and I had my photo taken with a snake around my neck, ( no problem), the thing that got me, was the guy taking the photo, then put his turban on my head, dirty thing, bloody hell, I went home and washed my hair 4-5 times before I felt clean again... that was fear,

So knowledge is the key to fight fear......John 2000.
