Fear of the unknown

 In the day time, I dont think much walking through my street. The night is different. There is slight hesitation even in the familiar spot. Is there someone hiding in that corner? Anything moving in that dark place? What if insects crawl to me? The night is scary even inside our house. The comfort we find in the day time is gone. Nights are special and makes us cautious. Each step we take, each light we switch on, it has a mark.

Just wondering how we caught this fear. May from caveman period, where it was pitch dark in the night. Their survival depends on the precautions they took. May be those emotions are imprinted in our genes.
