Why are people afraid of ghosts?

Because, when human beings face other death threats, such as encountering tigers, being pointed at the head with a gun, or falling from a building, you will be afraid, because you are likely to die. However, this kind of fear is different from your fear when you face a ghost. Because in the real world's death threat, the world is still running according to common sense, and all your common sense and logic are completely established. You can try to kill the tiger, knock down the person who pointed the gun at you, or open the parachute while falling, all of which can save your life. And even if you can't save yourself, when you are dying, you can fully understand why you died. In short, dead or alive, everything is known. However, in the face of ghosts, the situation is completely different. The world became incomprehensible. Your common sense and logic are not good. Ghosts can subvert everything. It may go through the wall, it may suddenly appear, it may suddenly disappear, it may sneer, it may cry, it may twist its body, it may hold its head. In a word, everything is unknown. When facing a tiger, you can use weapons to defend yourself, when facing a pistol, you can use bulletproof vests to protect yourself, and when you fall, you can use a parachute to save yourself. But how can you protect yourself from ghosts? The answer is powerless. The result is that you are extremely insecure, because nothing can protect you. This extreme unknown leads to extreme insecurity. Is the root of all fear. This is why people are afraid of ghosts.

So when we understand why people are afraid of ghosts, everything will be solved. For ordinary people, there are two ways to ease their fear of ghosts. The first is to protect the body with Buddha statues. Why can this alleviate human fears? Because human beings have gained a sense of security through Buddha statues. Obtained the known. It is known that under the protection of the Buddha statue, the absurd world brought by ghosts has been curbed, at least within the protection of the Buddha statue, and the world order has been corrected. Your common sense and logic work again. Second, people are not afraid of ghosts. Some people say that because there are many people, they share the fear of ghosts, or because there are many people, the chances of ghosts killing you become smaller. Actually, it's all beside the point. Because ghosts can kill everyone at the same time, or when there are many people, there will be more ghosts. In this way, you can't share the fear of ghosts, and you can't reduce the chance of being killed by ghosts, but you are not so afraid. Why? Or because the world knows it. Because ghosts are unknown and incomprehensible. On the contrary, people know and understand. So when others appear, your world has a known and understandable part. Your fears will decrease.
