geet is no stranger to scary situations...such moments like running through the dark woods while her brother and other goons were chasing her to kill her may be recalled...that could be an example of fear of the expected...as she already knew that her brother had been involved in an honor killing and would not hesitate to do the same to her...

but then we come to the case of the stalker...he came totaly unannounced and unexpectedly...it was as if one fine day geet's life was turned upside down...and worse still she simply does not know who is behind all the terror she is living...this can be an example of fear of the unknown...geet's fear in this case is chilling...

is fear of the unknown worse than fear of the expected?...

Good post Syl👏

is fear of the unknown worse than fear of the expected?...

I think the common factor here is "fear", but if I have to quantify it, I would say it is the same in both cases To me, it doesn't really matter if someone I know is torturing/scaring/harassing me vs someone I don't😔 Their intentions are wrong in both cases anyway😡

yes...the expected gives us the chance to mentally prepare ourselves for the fear. It allows us the chance to debate solutions and a way out.

But how do you prepare yourself for the unexpected? How do you devise solutions when you don't understand the problem? How do you escape from the force that threatens to destroy your world...a force that you can feel, but not see...

Great post! 👍🏼

I feel that the fear of the unknown is definitely greater than the fear of the expected because the fear of the unknown leads to one being on edge and paranoid of everything.

Geet doesn't know what to expect or when the stalker will strike next. It's all very unpredictable.

then she knew the harm that could happen to her and she knew she had to run away...in this case she has no idea what Vikram is really capable of and she does not know where to go except in Maan's arm.

Fear from unknown is def. scarier and tougher to deal with. Geet knew Brijj wouldnt hesitate to kill her so she knew she had to run, she had to do all that she could to escape from that situation but here she doesn't know when...where...how...this stalker will do something. Maan helped her from Brijj safely because they were dealing with a man who wanted to kill Geet. Now the stalker doesn't want to hurt Geet...instead might hurt Maan and other people who come between so def. fear increases tri-folds.

I totally feel that fear of the unknown is a lot more scarier than fear of the expected.. at least with expected you are on your toes ready for anything.. fear of the unknown means you just don't know when and where and what will happen .. you just know that you are fearful .. but for what exactly? That's the scary part...

i agree that fear is fear...one of the most terrible feelings a human being can feel...in either case its just horrible to have to go through...but fear of the unknown is, i think, in a class by itself...you simply don't know who your enemy is...how to defend yourself...its quite amazing when you think of this in terms of the current track in the show...maaneet are up against someone that has caught them off gaurd and has yet to reveal himself...that can strike at any minute...that knows them...but has the advantage that they don't know him...
