Why you shouldn't fear ghosts?

Read this on some website and thought it was quite funny! It makes so much sense!

The guy who wrote the excerpt below actually did a research paper on this! Amazing what people research...

"The idea of ghosts and spiritual beings often automatically instill fear in some people, but this need not be the case. If ghosts do indeed exist then there would still be no need to fear them, at least not any more than any living entity. If ghosts are rational economic actors then ghosts would have no incentive to severely disturb the living population as it is likely that the costs to the ghost of killing an individual outweigh the benefits. When a ghost kills an individual then that individual could then conceivably turn into a ghost and, as a ghost, annoy its phantom killer for an even longer time period than if left alive. A ghost would be much better off being annoyed by a living entity for the comparably short period of time of that person’s lifespan rather then to kill that individual and, by doing so, inducing that person to seek retribution in the afterlife. "

So... there goes my fear of ghosts! Thought I'd share this to help others deal with their fear of ghosts!
