Re: The only thing to fear is fear itself.If fear wasn't defined how it is, would you still associate the feeling of fear with things what you are currently scared of? Or would it just be normal? as you are aware of the feeling but haven't realized the feeling (a bit like gravity until Einstein realized what it was)

Re: The only thing to fear is fear itself.No. I am terrified of death.
Might get negged, but what the hell. When I'm dead, I'm gone. To be forgotten. I really don't like the idea of that. Of not existing any more.
I want to bo someone. A name in history. Because if people know my name, I'm not dead. I still mean something. That's what I want, and it's all driven by fear. And that's why, in my opinion, fear is a good thing. Something not to be feared itself. -

Re: The only thing to fear is fear itself.Why fear fear?
The most dangerous of emotions are hatred or jealousy, because they're both capable of deceiving us and leading us astray.
I'd fear those, not fear. Fears are part of everyone, and as long as you accept and acknowledge them, they don't do you any bad.
