Why are we afraid?

We all feel the emotion called fear, it is a universal emotion and extremely important for our survival. At times we associate it as something bad and even paralyzing, but it has the function of protecting us and alerting us to possible dangers that at some point may arise in front of us.

Sometimes feeling fear is important because it is a reaction that our body presents, but other times it is a matter of our mind and has nothing to do with it.

At other times fear is good, it's because of fear that we don't stay near the fire, it's because of fear that we don't run across the street but very carefully, it's because of fear that we don't play with a knife. And in that sense fear is good, as it protects us from danger.
