The simple answer is: because of the possibility of you dying.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm afraid of danger because I don't want to get hurt, or worse! I'd like to live a very long, extremely healthy life, thank you very much.

it's the "fight or flight" instinct.
But some aren't afraid of danger. Some love the chaos, excitement, & sort of "rush" it gives them from all the adrenaline pumping.
then there are people who are genetically predisposed to be reckless....The same toddlers who run their tricycles into garage doors just to see what it would feel like, could be future heroin users.
& then the more normal type are ones who've inherited survival instinct genes, or who've grown up around with cautious relatives

Because we are afraid of dying or getting hurt. Before you ask, being afraid of being hurt is a given. Being afraid of death is an instinct.

Arent you afraid of danger? I mean...yeah.
Everyday you hear on the news that people are being killed and murder, people choking each other to death everyday.
THATS DANGER
Wouldnt you be afriad if someone choked you to death or slit your throat? [sorry]
People dont want to be hurt or be in pain, get it?

do you mean YOUR not afraid of catching a desease or getting hurt or killed, I dont believe it. If YOUR actually not afraid then your mind is gone. I suggest you check into a mental hospital.

Fear of unknown. Once you get used to taking same kinds of risks, the fear reduces.
