I am generally a cautious person. Perhaps it's because some of my fears are things that are a major part of life. I'm not scared of spiders - I know I'll probably never encounter a poisonous one. I'm not scared of heights in general, as long as I know I'm safe. What I am scared of is machinery and other human creations and their reliability to function properly in dangerous situations. I hate elevators, escalators, and carnival rides. I'm not a fan of cars - but that's a large part due to the people driving them more than cars themselves. For that reason, I prefer trains, boats, and planes. They all could go wrong - but I know there are experienced people who will try their best for that not to happen.
My fears are probably not the most rational or conventional, but they affect my life all the same.
