Upon arising in the morning and walking through the kitchen and you happen to step on a wet rope fear will seize your mind thinking it is a snake ready to bite, but as you look down to see the snake you then realize that the supposed snake is a rope and the fear is gone. Learning from this experience the wet rope will have no more fear in your life should you step on it again. Had it been a snake, a quick reaction on your part induced by the fear may have saved you from a deadly bite.
