"يمكن أن يكون الخوف شيئًا جيدًا. إنه إحساس تطوري قمنا بتطويره على مدى ملايين السنين."

Simplified Meaning:

Feeling afraid can actually be helpful. It's a natural reaction our ancestors developed to protect themselves from danger. For instance, imagine a person walking through a dark alley at night and feeling scared. This fear can make them more alert and cautious, helping them stay safe and avoid potential threats. Throughout history, early humans needed to be scared of predators like lions to survive. That fear would make them run away and find safety. Nowadays, while we might not face lions, fear can still protect us in different situations, like being careful around strangers or avoiding risky decisions. People can use fear to make smart choices. If someone is scared of failing an important test, that fear can motivate them to study harder and prepare better. So, while fear might seem unpleasant, it serves a useful purpose by helping us react to challenging situations wisely.
