Realities of Fear

This is an excerpt from Poof Like Magic. It makes you question your reality and rationale, and by now you all know how much I love mind-boggling tidbits like this.  I think I paraphrased a bit, but the sentiment is the same:
You're not scared of the dark; you're scared of what's in it.
You're not afraid of heights; you're afraid of falling.
You're not scared of people; you're afraid of rejection.
