Into the Unknown
Why are we so afraid of what we do not know
Why does it intimidate us to ask questions we may not want to know the answers to
Risk don’t scare us because of the consequences we know of
Risks scare us because of the unknown consequences
We are not afraid to die because we will leave this world
Most people don’t like this world to start out with
People are afraid to die because they don’t know what will happen
Maybe before I start this journey I should ask my-self something
Do I really want to know the answer to my first question
It is quite possible that if I start this journey the more I learn
The less I will truly know
1 fact may lead to 100 questions
It is also quite possible that I have already started this journey
Simply by forming that one question in my head
