It’s been rightfully termed as False Evidence Appearing realistic. If you are mature enough to know the roots of its cause than you know better than most that its critical and possible to hold the reins of your fear. For instance, animals don’t have the knowledge as to why they are feeling fearful, as a result they react in aggressive manner. Human, on the other hand, are more intelligent, reasonable and have the ability to use fear to construct rather than destroy.
