Dinka, Future Cape Town, South Africa - The more we fear each other, the less we trust each other. The less we trust, the less we open up to each other, and the less we learn about each other. And the less we know, or understand, about each other, the more we fear each other. And so on and so forth until fear (and Facebook) diminish what little experience of neighborliness we have left.
In short: fear desensitises.

Actually, fear sensitises: it makes us jumpy and any smallest thing triggers a big hit of adrenalin, revving our heart, generating glucose for our muscles, and preparing us to fight or flee.
And because of that, constant fear eventually exhausts and debilitates us, leading to premature organ breakdown and death.
