Fear

I'm not a fearful person.  I'm not really fond of chickens and chihuahas but that is because both have chased me.  I'm not scared of spiders and snakes but I don't wish to have close encounters with either.  I don't particularly care for heights and stairs but I can definitely handle them.  I don't do fear.  I've also never stared down the barrel of a gun before or wondered if I'd reached the end of my life.

I don't understand though people who are full of fear.  Some people are scared and their fear is justified.  I'm talking about people who don't know how to save an Excel spreadsheet and are too scared to learn how.  They've never done it before and now isn't the time to start.  I've been labelled a tech guru by many people in my life because I have an understanding of computers. I'm self-taught and if I don't know I google.

Is this a metaphor?  I don't know.  I don't live my life in fear of pushing a button on the computer.  I need more sympathy for those who do.
