Fear of truth is linked to shame which is considered the most powerful emoton in human psyche. For instance, the fear that a dominant religion, ideology, or values may not work for an individual( or group) living in a given society can become unbearable. So the person must live with the fear of exposure even though he has done nothing wrong to harm anyone, or violet any laws. As a consequence he would have to live underground so to speak as if he /she was already dead or living but in a sunk submarine. And if this person risked and surfaced he/she would face host of disasters ranging from death to imprisonmnet, losing job, public redicule etc. Like a surfaced submarine attacked by bombs.

Except for a few principles the numerous so called good values are not good values for everyone. Unless this problem is recognized and appreciated we will all live now and then, here and there in temporary cells of our own creation! Fear of truth is a contageous disease that we must prevent.
