The Thing Ever y

By: Dan Rot hman, Grade 8
? The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.? -FDR
Do you know what all people
fear? Deep down, every person
knows. It isn?t death. It isn?t
Acrophobia. It isn?t stage fright. It is
something more. Something
darker.
Something hidden deep down
that people tend to forget. The
reason why people fear it so much
is because they know nothing
about it. Whenever you start to
think about it, your mind is
crowded by darkness. You don?t
know a thing. People fear what
they do not understand. They act
on that. They do stupid things that
the world may not forgive them
for. The people involved in these
actions pay the price. But we could
be better. The world could be
better if we stop acting on our fears. If we realize that we don?t have to understand
everything. If people realize that some things should stay not understood. But there is
one truth. People don?t understand fear. And that is why the thing that haunts people
the most is not what they fear, it is fear itself.
