So fear is something good for long time use? I believe in natural behavior it is a bad thing for our hormones a and stress. That fear over long time changes behavior to be unpredictable, unwise and barbaric. Where are the people who study how important handshake was in history to make us civilized? Or sosicalphsycology? That handshake and showing your full face became a common gesture for trusting others. Btw it is around the mouth our brains short cut the interpretations if someone is dangerous for us or not.
