Apocalypse - What emotion is awakened in you when you hear this word? FEAR?

Have you ever been afraid of something and found out later it was nothing to be afraid of? I was once afraid of a man because of his beard. But later, I discovered He was a sweet, kind, loving uncle who I was very sad to say good bye to.
