The story "Know Your Fear" explores the journey of fear from infancy to adulthood. It begins with the idea that we are born without fear, but as we grow, we learn to embody this emotion, often influenced by our surroundings, particularly our parents. The narrative outlines how fear develops through various stages: from the fear of falling and pain in early childhood to more complex fears in adolescence, such as social acceptance and material loss. As individuals transition into adulthood, they become engulfed by fears that cloud their judgment and dictate their lives. This cycle of fear often gets passed down to the next generation. The story suggests that if one could recognize and understand the stages of fear, they might manage it better and use it constructively. Ultimately, it concludes that the fear of God can be a beneficial guiding force that helps maintain boundaries and encourages a life aligned with human nature. In old age, one may return to a state of fearlessness akin to that of a newborn, finding peace and acceptance of death. The narrative emphasizes the transformative journey of understanding and confronting fear throughout life.
