Fear is simply ignorance.
If your ignorant about something, then you don't know about it...and you jump to assumptions. So therefore your afraid of it.
That's all it is.

Fear is a basic emotional sensation and response system ("feeling") initiated by an aversion to some perceived risk or threat.

An innate response to a threat to yourself or to your kin. The body secretes adreanaline to activate the fight or flight responses. The body then concentrates its energy on the most important organs to ensure optimum speed and performance during the episode of fear.

people who fear things have no wisdom, for example when we look at death or the dark it is not fear we feel it is the 'unknown' there is nothing to fear from a dead body just as there is nothing to be feared from the darkness!
hope this helps,

The feeling of distress (being upset in the wake of an accident or a situation where we are in danger or lose control), apprehension (nervousness about an exam, punishment for something we have done wrong) or alarm caused by impending danger or pain - something we don't like and therefore dread.
