Scary
Halloween is just around the corner. Its origin dates back over 2000 years. Its celebration in the United States is connected to the Irish Potato Famine when millions of Irish and Scots fled their homelands in search of a better life – bringing their “All Hallows” celebration with them.
The word scared did not enter our vocabulary until hundreds of years after Halloween. To be scared is to have a visceral response to what we perceive as a clear and present danger.
