That isn't quite what I was looking for, but it's a good answer nonetheless.I'll give a hint: It is a tangible thing, the answer is not abstract.

Correct, discostu54, the answer to number 3 is darkness.Hmm, it seems number 2 has evaded most people:What grows more frightful the smaller it becomes? Answer: a bridge(Although a bomb fuse is certainly a plausible answer, paslaria ^_^ )Alright, time for some new ones:[continued from previous list]4) Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see it nor feel it. What is it?5) The more you do, the less there is No keep keeps it away Only the work of a diligent maid Can keep this thing at bay.

If the answer is indeed your shadow then surely it would be logical to say it doesn't hurt...
