OMG!! You Scared Me to Death!!
NAKEDUGLY 2017

-----------Preface-----------
This story has been adapted from a true and tragic experiment. It does not intend to accuse or criticize any conclusion or personnel related. The only wish is to rescue the people living on the edge of fear or even death.
Due to the limitation of funds and length of the paper, we set the experimental subject - you as an infant of almost 12-month old who can merely sit up because to this innocent baby, you can capture the essence of the experiment with only a hammer and a steel pipe.
The Introduction to Characters and Scene

Here you are, the leading role. Innocent and pure.

This is a laboratory. Thoroughly cleaned and sterile.

Some animals: A monkey, a mouse and a rabbit. Cute and harmless.

Some exquisite hand-crafted masks.

Finally, the scientist who is responsible for this experiment. (Look at his big hammer! I guarantee you he is not one of those Mr. Puppet sent by somebody to scare you.)
Okey do-key then, let us start this sad experiment.

At first, due to emptiness of a baby, you can coexist peacefully with each of the animals. The bunny jumps, the mouse squeaks, and the monkey licks the smashed banana off from the back of its hand. Everything is peaceful and quiet,
Until you reach out your hand to touch them...

DAM-DAM!!
DAM-DAM!!
DAM-DAM!!

"Sorry, I did it."

Well done, scientist! You are scare to death by this unexpected loud bang and keep crying. You won't get your hand near those animals any more.

However the experiment is not over yet. This time, the staff wearing cute masks come to you and play with you. Finally they catch your attention and you are off guard,
Until you reach out your hand to touch them...again...

DAM-DAM!!
DAM-DAM!!
DAM-DAM!!

"OOPS, I did it, again."

The same thing happens again and again, the infant you are scared suddenly over and over and cry aloud.
------------------------
You argue that you have enough wisdom to see through these little tricks, but it is animals for the first time, the masks for the second time. What would happen if it's animals and masks for the third time? The fourth and umpteen times of fright like this will last from your baby age to old until you shiver your whole life through with breakdowns and thrills.
However, there was no third time experiment. The poor baby can not get close to any animal or mask with fur with the conditioned reflex of dreadful fear of the sudden sound in his mind. He lived to 6. The items with fur is extremely for him, although they are ordinary to other babies. He spent his life expecting the unexpectable thump...
Admitting that you fear less when you have done more bad while growing up, but it is not true for most of the time. A person with fear grows up on the outside naturally, but on the inside, the way he handles the strange and fear makes no difference from handling the fear caused by a hammer and a steel pipe as a baby: imbalance and slow.
For, the awful things grow as well.
It's either you scare the awful to death, or the awful scares you to death.
Therefore,
DO NOT BE AFRAID.
