Neither does your sense of wonderment, Mr. Buzzkillington.
If the wonder is gone when the magic is revealed, there never was any wonder to begin with, now was there?
And Mrs.
Miz to you.

Prove it. Go on.
Can't? Stop killing the joy, then.
prove that they DO exist, and we shall talk.
so you just came to the thread to arguee with people, thats nice
OT: probably nothing, being rasied catholic i was installed with a fear of hell at a very young age
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Fear isnt scary, lack of fear is scary though
Lack of fear is the only thing NOT scary.
No fear is the only thing stopping me from doing a bunch of stupied and harmful things, lack of fear scares the hell out of me
If fear is the only thing stopping you, then you may need to re-examine yourself.
I'd find that fact far more disturbing than anything you may do without fear.
without fear i might think boxing a bear is a good idea, or going all dillenger on a few banks is a good idea, fear is the only thing that keeps people civil
Again, that is a very poor and childish outlook on life.
Somewhere between 10 and 16, people move from concrete understandings of laws (if I don't obey them, I get punished) to more abstract understandings of laws (they exist for a reason which generally is understood to benefit all).
I am not afraid of bears. But I also don't box them. Just because you fear something doesn't mean it isn't optimal to do it, and just because you don't do it doesn't mean you fear it.
Yea laws do exist for a reason, but at the end of the day the only person they are looking out for is themselves, fear of punishment keeps most in line
Wrong again! People are quite driven to make decisions which benefit their genetic material far before themselves. This is the "selfish gene" theory, which accounts for altruism, mutualism, and other things which seem to defy basic individual selfishness.
Fear of punishment in fact keeps very few in line; authority is a far more powerful figure, and may even be hard wired independent of punishment.
Basically, that understanding of the world is childish and simply at odds with psychology.
