Something about our nature as humans likes to be scared. Perhaps it’s the rush of adrenaline we get when we take a “haunted hayride” or sit down in a dark room to watch a horror movie. For some reason, we like it. Unlike the truly frightening things we face each day, we have the comfort of knowing that scary entertainment is fake—it’s no threat to us and it ends. That rather puts us in control of fear—and there’s no better feeling than that sense of power. So, today, allow yourself to get spooked and scare.d On this Halloween, look at the world with ready eyes—open to take in those fleeting bumps in the night which we know can do us no harm.
