The Fear Factor

Striking as it may be. It hunts, it kills, it hunts again. Its main purpose: destruction. But why? Why the pain? Why the fear? To help us learn. That's why. Why, without the experience it gives, we may never empathize. Without empathy, what are we really? Just another person saying, "I'm sorry." Everyone is always sorry. That's all any one ever seems to feel anymore. "I'm bored." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I hurt." "Oh I'm sorry." Sorry is boring, sorry hurts more than, "It'll be okay." Why the pain? Why the fear? To help us evolve from careless adolecents to wise and experienced adults.
