The Fear to the Unknown

Tablets 4 and 5
The unknown, a topic in which humans are unable clarify. The fear to the unknown is the biggest barrier humanity may have. Fear is a human quality. Gilgamesh the main character, which is two thirds god and one third human, as well experience this feeling. “This was the place Huwawa was; huwawa´s breath is death. Beautiful is the forest; green upon green the cedars; fragrant the air with the fragrance of cedar trees; the box that grew along the silent walks of the guardian demon, shadowed and still, utterly still, was fragrant. Then Gilgamesh was afraid, and Enkidu was afraid, and they entered into the forest, afraid.” (Gilgamesh, page 25, 26)I interpret the fear of Gilgamesh, as one to the unknown. What percentage of life is unknown? Philosophers, psychiatrists and religions have tried to answer, although none of them have created a believable answer. Are all humans scared of the unknown? Well at least Enkidu and Gilgamesh were. Gilgamesh was raised inside the great walls of Uruk. Coming outside, were he wasn’t protected, was challenging and scaring. He dint know, how it was out there. The god/human became vulnerable.I believe one hundred percent of the life is unknown. We think we know something; But it’s wrong. If it would be correct humanity wouldn’t be destroying itself and the world as it is. Every human being is fearful to the unknown, humans have a habit of believing they know everything, when control leaves there hands they simply panic.
