fear

I was mowing the grass yesterday and I came up with a new book idea. (I know I should finish the rest of the books I've started but whatever.) Anyway, the book is called Fearless and its just a concept right now but it shall evolve.

So now my adoring fans you are the first to read a (Very) very rough draft of an excerpt from

Fearless

"Every day all over the world people are born with a birth defect. Some are born without arms or legs, some without kidneys or any other organ or limb. Still others are born with a mental defect with varying details. John Doe (As I said so far its just a concept so the main character does not yet have a name.) was even more unfortunate than any of these. Some would argue that this isn't a defect that it is a plus or a power. They would be wrong for John Doe was born without fear.

Now fear isn't something we normally dwell on. Oh sure when something frightens us all we can think of is fear. But they are very basic, primal thoughts of survival not really thinking about what fear is.

If we didn't have fear we wouldn't have many things usually thought to be separate from fear. Without fear there wouldn't be a moral conscience, we would have no perception of "good and bad" and religiously speaking no belief in a higher power. For if we break it down a bit what is a moral conscience? The answer is simply the fear of getting caught or the fear of what people will think or do. And religion is the fear of an almighty.

So our John Doe has lived his life without any guidance what so ever. An unpleasant life indeed.

So what do you think? Am I crazy or stupid?
