Just a little bit of terror, briefly.

 Well there is no doubt that the last 20 years has massed, a large

volume of information on this subject.  

Some day, somebody is going sort through that.  But, it is not 

out of place to mention that when movies were $0.25 for 

admission, terror as much as beauty, drama and mystery

was a big draw.

Historically, terror has a good deal of significance, 

particularly personified by Deimos,  

ancient Greek personification of terror,

 a son of Ares and Aphrodite.   We know that for hundreds or

perhaps thousand of years, Mars was a primary deity

for the Roman civilization, and of course the moons of

Mars are Deimos and Phobos, the children of Mars,

the god of war.

It seems to me that if we reflect on the issue of terror,

it is kind of hard to avoid , that, for one thing, it is

quite thoroughly integrated in our lives at various levels.

An example, would be waking up to a cougar or bear, inches

from your face, an experience which could  described

as a good bit of terror, perhaps brief, depending on the state

of mind of the cougar or bear.

  Therefore, it is easy to conclude,that eliminating terror 

from life, would in fact be very difficult, and , to follow up, 

I think, there may be a bit of terror in all of us.
