Why must we consider the fear as good?

When one speaks of the fear, I believe that the first thing that it is necessary to highlight that being afraid it is good, it is something necessary in our learning process, since it teaches us to avoid dangerous things as putting our fingers into the plug, to cross the street without looking to the sides, etc.

But the fear is not something natural, but rather it is something learned. The babes only fear two things:

* The strong noises

* To fall down

And their parents teach them to fear all the other things that they fear. I know that they do it with the intention of protecting the baby, although they sometimes exaggerate and end up raising fearful children.

When a child suffers pain, he knows perfectly well that he doesn't like that, because he is experiencing it in his own flesh and blood, he doesn't need anybody to explain to him that that is bad; but when an adult inculcates fear in a children, he doesn't know what to expect, he doesn't know exactly what is it that it's going to happen, and everything is left to his imagination. In some cases this can end up with an unjustified extreme fear.
