Strange But True

My title speaks for my opinion as to what Edmund Burke said in his article "The Sublime". As far as my emotion is concerned, when I'm in a state of awe, my mind is filled with that specific entity. I in a way believe in the notion that astonishment is similar to the feeling of horror. It is because when you're in horror, the entity which caused the actual horror also fills your mind. It's amazing though that two antonymous words may have the same feeling or reaction.

It is also true that when things are unclear it increases the terror that one person activates in his mind. When things are clear, we are able to prepare for it. If things are clear we are able to understand and therefore know its weaknesses. And so, it decreases our chance to experience fear. An example of which as what Burke said is the idea of darkness. Dark forests fear many of us because we do not know what is inside that forest. Or if ever we pass through that forest, we don't know if we could get out alive.
