Nothing for fear but fear itself
Our life is an intricate and a complex phenomenon; it consists of a great variety of factors, occurrences, events, visions, phenomena and other staff that makes our life as it is: full of eternal events, emotions and other. Everything we see, know or feel in our life is subjective. There is no event or thing which is comprehended in the same way by two different persons, as everything has two, and sometimes even more, sides. One person sees the good side, another sees the bad side and the third person is able to see both sides and make a choice which side is preferable for him or her.
Such a variety of points of view and a perception of things and events, that surrounds us, results in a great variety of attitudes people have for life and its components. Say, there is a biologist, who is fond of everything created by nature: animals, insects, birds and other living creatures. He adores those and may dedicate his whole life for analysing those, their functions and a development, and one will hardly find thing that would excite that biologist more than the spiders or the lizards. Though, there, for sure, will be a person, who considers all those spiders and insects as the terrible and ugly creatures that bring no good and cause nothing but harm for life and people.
That person will in no case agree with the biologist that spiders are wonderful and beautiful creatures that help us to get rid of the different annoying insect. That person will state that they bring nothing except cobweb and feeling of disguise once you see those. That disguise for spiders may, in some time, results in a fear for spiders. This fear will develop as the strokes of panic with one single look at spider or even hearing of the word "spider". A person will get scared, terrified and nervous, and all those symptoms are indications of the fact that a person suffers from arachnophobia.
The arachnophobia is just one of a great number of phobias people suffer from. Phobia is an abnormal intense and irrational fear for a given situation, organism, or object. According to the given definition one may states that the phobias may be of three kinds: fear for situations, fear for organisms and fear for objects. The arachnophobia belongs to the fears for organisms. Those phobias are uncountable and not subjected to control fears for organisms that (as person who suffers with phobia believes) may cause certain harm to a person.
Fears for certain situation are resulted with fear to get into situation one will not be able to find the way out of. As an example of such phobia the dromophobia may be represented. It is a fear for crossing the streets. Those, who suffer from this kind of phobia, are afraid of crossing the streets as they think they will not manage to perform it and will be hit with a car or else. The third kind of phobias is a fear for objects. Those objects may be of different kinds and the person is afraid of those objects as he or she considers it to be potentially dangerous. For example the linonophobia, it is a fear for ropes and threads.
