I
am forced to think that most of the phobias that we have is the end result of
parenting and socialization. Most of the parents to make the little kids
obedient and disciplined, who is otherwise very much naughty and mischievous, would
tell them that don’t do this and that, if you disobey their parents the ghost or
evil spirit would come and trouble them. What is taught in childhood would have
a long lasting impression and ill effect in one’s life, the inculcated phobia
is going to be there in the mind of the kids for the ages to come.
