We fear most what we don't understand...

A deep topic, perhaps, but not today. It is inspired by my one-and-a-half-year-old son pulling away sharply from his basket of board books to squeal in panic. I run to see the culprit: a housefly. He fears, dreads, detests this housefly. First he screamed. Then he growled, watching it all the time with a paranoia worthy of Stephen King. What lessons can be taken from a child? An infinite number... an unknown number, at least. Today I learned what ignorance yields: fear.
