I would say that everyone has a fear of death, fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of falling and fear of the dark. I would say that everyone overcomes some of these or all of them. Fear of death comes naturally I believe as well as failure and unknown. Fear of falling stop well.... when one learns that falling short distances are not bad and that long distances are not so good. Fear of the dark as many of us know is overcome when we are wee little children.
I suppose that depending on our genetics or upbringing that there are some fears that would be different. Its a basic nature vs nuture type thing. Like are we predisposed to be afraid of spiders or are we afraid because they're depicted as being "scary" or "gross."
