The Creation of Monsters

This is how I see the whole monster deal.
Your imagination creates the monster. Your fear confirms that the monster is real. Then reality brings the monster to the world to follow you around. So now you have all these monsters following you around and scaring you. No one but you can see the monster and no one but you can get rid of them.
The only way to get rid of them is to not acknowledge their existence in the first place.
