Are you afraid of the dark?

I feel it is the fear of losing control over one of the senses. If we just close our eyes, it is still in our control. We can open them anytime. But darkness is not in our control. One does not fear loosing the sense of smell (we do that when we have a cold) or hearing because we can rely on sight. Darkness takes it all away and plunges us into the unknown.
Personally, I was extremely afraid of the dark when growing up but not now.

Actually, I like wild animals and creatures like sharks and snakes. What really terrifies me are insects, including butterflies. I think all evil things come in pretty packages like butterflies.
