People Hate What They Fear

It is a well known fact that people hate what they fear or what they don’t understand. It is true that people have been killed by animals and insects, but that is only because we as humans without knowing it provoke animals. It is unfair to say that animals kill for no reason, they are not stone cold killers. The Australian Bureau of Statistics have proved that about 112 people a year die from spider bites, 56 people from snake bites and another 92 people from undiscovered insects. While it may be true that people do die from these types of animals and the ones who didn’t have been hospitalized it is also true that these animals have been provoked. Some parents tell their children to stand still if they see a dangerous animal, but the fact is they are not dinosaurs they evolve just like us, they are territorial just like us and they probably even steal valuables just like us. We are not so different from the animals at our door. I feel afraid of animals and I am sure many of you do to, sometimes it slips my mind when I say I hate snake because I fear them or because I fear of being bitten. It is the same spiders and insects even the toughest man has the smallest fear. Maybe it is just the fact that I hate that snakes are faster than man on the land or the fact that hornets can eat a man alive if they were in a very large pack. There are even animal phobias like arachnophobia (people who have a fear of spiders) ophidiophobia is a fear of snakes. There is even a fear of insects called entomophobia, there are many others and I am sure that I will not be able to learn them all. In conclusion yes I am afraid of snakes, I have fear of insects and even spiders, but that does not hold me back. In fact as an individual it interests me and makes me stronger and as I have said once already even the toughest man has even the smallest
