Fear is part of our identity and we experience it in different ways. We grow up with it, and over time we overcome or suppress it. It is said that our eyes widen in fear; they grow where we face the unknown. In those moments, we give unrealistic proportions to some aspects of reality, such as time. Only when the fear is overcome, the eyes shrink back and the picture becomes clearer.
