Simplified Meaning:

Fear often comes from not knowing or understanding something. For example, if you are afraid of the dark, it's usually because you can't see what's around you. Once you have a flashlight and can see everything plainly, you feel safer and less scared. This is because you now have the knowledge of what is in the dark. Applying this idea to real life, imagine you're scared of starting a new job because you don't know what to expect. If you gather information about the job, learn about the tasks, and maybe talk to people who work there, your fear will decrease. You'll feel more confident and less anxious because you understand what you're getting into. Knowing more about something removes the unknown and makes you feel more secure. So, when you find yourself scared of something, try to learn more about it – this will help reduce your fear.
