fear of the Unknown

I always supposed, to myself in particular, that I am not afraid of what I do know, but rather afraid of what I do not know. This pertains to information, and not knowledge, though it is said that information is knowledge. I am relating more to the emotional need for information with regard to love and passion.
We are certainly brave and stupid as human beings, we believe we can handle anything told to us and have the right to be infuriated and psychologically compensation by what is omitted in certain tales repeated to us. I am certainly a casualty and accomplice to this phenomenon.
Our intuitive physiology and psychology is self taught based on experiences, incidents and perceptions. Though we convince ourselves that we are stronger than the event and that we are immune to the effects, we still seem to fall prey to wicked little tricks of life as a whole.
I am valiant and sturdy, I am impervious emotionally to the preposterous and I do not presuppose. Oh fuck sure mate! Well there we go, our little egos and incoherent voices in the brain are definitely the factors that control the physics of our actions. “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” I think it was Newton who said that, but I am not sure, and that is not important, what is important is our, as human beings, reactionary response to that what hits those infinite nerves of imaginary steel that are actually created out of thin and flimsy cotton.
An insatiable amount of information passes through our brains on a daily basis, and we filter nothing at all. The information hits our micro brain cells like asteroids splitting up in the direct path of a susceptible space ship, waiting to hit and conquer the little people who drive this ship bravely through the cosmic spheres probing for fallow territories. When these broken bits of asteroids hit, they really hit, jolting the nerve center to an oblivious ricochet and sequential of paradox happenings. Now we are, like space ships, built with a large array of competent defense systems, yet when the attack is multiple in its panoramic advance our defense systems congeal and malfunction.
Malfunctioning is the most ominous of after effects the human brain can experience, and not experience. The systems of logic, rational and compromise crash and the brains ability to indemnify itself from such attacks are confronted with bizarre judgment and response to the onslaught.
And then we react!
