Fear in the light of science

When they both entered the hall, about 20 people were already there. There were chairs for men on one side and women on the other. There was a big screen on the front wall, in front of which the person sitting in the chair was pretending to be a doctor. "Come on Shahbaz Sahib, you were the one waiting." Seeing them, the man stood up from his chair, shook hands with Shahbaz and motioned for him to sit down.

"Ladies and gentlemen! You must be wondering why I have gathered you here today." As he sat down, Dr. Sahib began to speak. "But before I start talking, I want to show you a video ..." When he pressed a few buttons on the remote in his hand, the light in the room dimmed and a video started playing on the front screen.

A rat was seen in the video. He was running9 back and forth like normal rats and was eating things that fell from the ground. Suddenly a cat appeared in the video, sitting facing the other side. The rat may have seen something to eat under the cat's leg. He gritted his teeth on the cat's fur and began pulling it to one side. The cat turned and looked at him. There was confusion in his eyes. He shook his leg and removed the rat. The rat also saw the cat looking at him in surprise and anger. But he ignored her and began to grab her skin again. At that moment, the cat's forefinger moved, and the next moment, the rat was in the cat's mouth.

When the recording was over, there was complete silence in the room. Most people's mouths were wide open in surprise. The condition of women in particular was bad. "What was that, Doctor?" Shahbaz Sahib's voice was louder than usual.

"This rat was suffering from a disease which removes the fear of cats from its brain. This disease is called Toxoplasmosis, and it is caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma. This parasite can only give birth to its offspring in the cat's intestines, so when mice get the disease, it affects the part of the brain that is afraid of the cat's scent. The rat is not afraid of the cat's scent, and eventually falls prey to some cat, so the toxoplasma reaches the cat's intestines and produces offspring, which can cause disease in humans and other animals through cat waste. Are. " The doctor went on talking.

"Does this disease also occur in humans?" A gentleman almost shouted a question. Fear was now reflected in his astonishment. "Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me. Dr. Sahib was probably bent on scaring them well today.

"But fortunately most people do not see the effects, and it heals on its own. But in some people, especially children, it can damage the brain and eyes, causing headaches, fever, fatigue." In addition to swelling of the eyes, there are symptoms such as tremors and incoherent body movements. In humans, the disease is most often caused by eating the flesh of an animal whose diet contains infected cat droppings. Meat should be kept away from animals and meat should always be well cooked. "

"But that's not the purpose of showing you this video." After a few moments of silence, Dr. Sahib startled everyone again. "You all know me as a psychiatrist. And you all came to me with your children's problems. Ahmed's son He is afraid of high places (Acrophobia), Rafiq Sahib's daughter is afraid of needles (Trypanophobia), Shahbaz Sahib your son is afraid of birds (Ornithophobia). Similarly, one of the other children is afraid of flying (Aerophobia). Someone is afraid of holes (Trypophobia), while someone is afraid of closed spaces (Claustrophobia).

The point is that all of your children have similar problems. And I think as much as help and guidance. These kids need it, you need more than that. " The doctor went on talking. Everyone was listening intently, and most of them were shaking their heads in affirmation.

"You're right. But what do these things have to do with this video?" This time there was a woman asking questions. Some of the other women smiled and looked at him.

"I wanted to show you what happens when there is no fear." The doctor replied, pointing to the screen. "Amygdala or" almond "is the part of the brain that is called the Fear Center. If a person stops working, the amygdala will stop working." Man will not feel fear at all. But the question is, is it really good for man to do that? " Dr. Sahib seemed to be questioning, but everyone knew that his talk was not over yet.

"So far, there is only one person in the world who is completely scientifically fearless. This woman from the United States is known as MS. This forty-year-old woman had a childhood. I had a disease that causes calcium to build up in the brain. As calcium builds up around the amygdala, it gradually becomes a stone that this woman doesn't even know about. What is fear? " Everyone was holding their breath and listening to him. They had never found science so interesting before.

"Scientists believe that this woman can be very helpful in research on fear. But they also know that the life of this woman is in danger at all times. During the research, MS Instead of being scared, he tried to play with them, and the scientists had to intervene to save him. Similarly, once a man showed a knife and tried to return it, MS attacked him without caring about his knife. Diya and was seriously injured. "

"You mean you have to have fear to survive?" Shahbaz Sahib himself asked in a verbal manner.

"Of course ... fear is the power that prevents us from making mistakes. Also, when we are scared, our body releases hormones that" fight "or" run away ". These hormones make our heart beat faster, which causes a lot of blood to flow throughout the body and gives the body a lot more energy than usual.

The reason is that the first priority at this time. Life is to be saved. That is why it is said that" A wounded lion is more dangerous. " The audience's interest had now reached its peak.

"Pain, fear, fever and many other things that bother us are in fact a great mercy from God Almighty. Yes, sometimes the fear of one thing becomes too much, and our lives get in trouble. And so children. The good thing is that this thing gets better on its own over time, but things get worse when you try to cope with that fear and call the child a coward because of that fear. It is given, whether it is by someone at home or by friends or teachers in school / madrassa ... not only does that fear settle in him forever, but many times the child is afraid of it. They suffer from phobophobia, after which they do not have the courage to face any fear. " Dr. Sahib's depressed tone and the pain in his voice were telling that he had seen all these problems with his own eyes.

"I think we need to teach our children an important lesson. But in order to teach them, we have to believe in our own learning. And that's the goal of everything so far. And that's our lesson today." ... " When Dr. Sahib pressed the button on the remote in his hand, the screen behind him lit up again.

They all looked at the screen in shock, where the same sentence was written in bold words: "Brave is not the one who feels no fear, but the brave is the one who learns to live by putting his eyes in the eyes of fear."
