What is the purpose of emotions themselves? Who are you? Who am I? How exactly are you understanding what you're seeing? How do I understand what I'm saying? Are you real? Am I? What exactly does it mean to be 'real'? How are you reading this? What exactly is 'life'? What does it mean to be alive? How exactly does electricity work?

My mind changes courses easily and quickly but right now I ask myself:

What is fear?
