Really, that’s what I’m MOST afraid of…the things I don’t know can, and will, hurt me.

Meh…. these are less fears for me and more annoyances. Almost everything on that list is avoidable in some way or other. What remains that isn’t doesn’t seem like anything to be afraid of, provided you know what to do in the situation.

Fear can be a wonderful tool. It’s honest and tells us what we truly value.

And, fear plus adrenaline equals anger. It has a self-protective aspect essential for survival.

The Litany Against Fear

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
