Fear may also be the result of prior experience. I don’t know that animals have an imagination that would allow them to visualize future happenings,but they do have memory. If they get a tail stuck in a door, you can bet they aren’t going to linger in a doorway even though there isn’t a present danger or threat. So is memory instinctive or it it learned?

Great analysis & well said Ben. We have devolved to a culture that expects an external quick fix for everything that requires little personal responsibility.
