It's so funny that while I'm two miles into the middle of the woods alone, I jump at the sounds of leaves rustling and acorns falling. I shouldn't be afraid of nature. I should be terrified of the two-ton metal death machine I drive to work daily, or the cancer I'm going to get from our fake food. Why is it that I was raised to be afraid of things that go bump in the night but to embrace a society full of high fructose corn syrup and diet pills?
