What Do We See In The Dark...

Why are so many people afraid of the dark?  People born blind can see so much without sight.  Yet the average person with eyesight tends to suffer some anxiety when all light is removed.  It only takes a few minutes for our eyes to adjust to the loss of light.  We see in shades instead of colors.

But why do we experience fear?  Fear of the shadows.

Take the average person from the country and throw them in a big city filled with millions of people and they might suffer some personal space and noise anxiety.  Take a long time city person and throw them in the middle of the woods off of a dirt road...and they too will experience anxiety.

So those of us who can see...fear more of what we cannot see.  Those of us who can't see, fear less because they can see inside their head, hear, and perhaps sense more.

I am presently working on the creation of some videos for this blog.  Please do come back and visit.
