“Knowledge is the antidote to fear”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simplified Meaning:
When we don't understand something, it often scares us. Imagine being in a dark room where you can't see anything; you might feel afraid because you don't know what's in there. But when you turn on a light, you can see clearly and know there's nothing to worry about. In the same way, when we learn more about something that scares us, it stops being frightening. For example, many people are scared of flying in airplanes, but when they learn how planes work and how safe they are, those fears often go away. By gaining knowledge, we feel more in control and less worried. So, when facing something new or scary, learning about it can help us feel braver and more comfortable.
