Summary

This quote emphasizes the primal nature of fear and its significant influence on evolution and human behavior. It suggests that the fear of danger and death is the driving force behind the survival instincts that led fish to evolve and adapt to life on land. Additionally, fear is seen as the instinct that compels animals, including humans, to flee from threats and protect their own lives. The fear of mortality has also shaped human cultural practices surrounding death, as it urges us to bury our deceased loved ones as a means of coping and expressing respect.

An average English word is four letters and a half. By hard, honest labor I've dug all the large words out of my vocabulary and shaved it down till the average is three and a half... I never write metropolis for seven cents, because I can get the same money for city. I never write policeman, because I can get the same price for cop....
