Fear of the unknown proverb

 Fear of the unknown often keeps people from getting involved but it's easy to rationalize a little discomfort when you consider what you're accomplishing.

 It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that--it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown--then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?
  John Lennon

 With the unknown, one is confronted with danger, discomfort, and care; the first instinct is to abolish these painful states. First principle: any explanation is better than none. . . .

The "why?" shall, if at all possible, not give the cause for its own sake so much as for a particular kind of cause -- a cause that is comforting, liberating, and relieving.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 Fear stops a lot of people. Fear of failure, of the unknown, of risk. And it masks itself as procrastination.

  Erica Jong
