Labyrinths incite fear because they are not by design linear. People are afraid of experiences that are not linear, experiences that deviate, diverge, digress. This is because people crave a single course. People want to move up and forward. People want a route that is straight.

There are two kinds of labyrinths: those you are born into and must escape, and those you choose to enter in search of what lies inside.

I agree that labyrinths can be unsettling, but I think there's also a sense of liberation in their non-linear nature. It allows for exploration and discovery, letting us break free from rigid pathways. Maybe the fear comes from the possibility of getting lost, but also the possibility of finding something unexpected
