Sweating palms,  
   racing heartbeat, 
      shaking knees, 
         and chattering jaws. 
 
These are the signs of fear.  
   Everyone has felt it. 
      Almost everyone dreads it. 
 
Why do people grow afraid? 
 
People become afraid for one reason, 
  they become afraid when they feel they have no control over a situation,  
      and that situation can turn on them. 
 
When you hear a noise outside and become alarmed, 
   you are not afraid because you know what is out there, 
      your afraid because it could be anything. 
That is to say, you are afraid of what you cannot control,  
   whatever made that noise. 
 
If the noise was made by a lion, 
   you would be hysterical;
      because you know you cannot control a lion. 
 
If the noise was made by your dog;  
  you would laugh at yourself for being scared, 
      and call him.  
         You are in control. 
 
Men love control, 
  Women too. 
  
We as a race have always tried to control our: food, land, civilizations, 
   and other men of the world. 
We love having everything act as we tell it to. 
We grow afraid and rebellious, 
   if we feel something is controlling us. 
 
Many people do not like the idea of an uncontrolled Earth or Universe. 
So we create in our minds, 
  ideas of morals and gods, 
   to enforce these codes, 
      and rule our lives. 
 
Modern man has moved farther on to stop the uncontrollable, 
   with Science, Religion, and Law. 
Those we deem uncontrollable are put in asylums and prisons. 
   Why?, 
   because we fear them, and their unpredictability.
