An overlooked quality of fear is its usefulness. Fear teaches us safety, caution, resourcefulness. It teaches us to be more intelligent, for if not for this greatest of emotional motivations, there would be no necessity to reason or way through problems. Fear also lets us love; we cannot do so without it. Those who do not fear anything do not love anything either. They are the most dangerous people to be around. Fear is an opportunity to educate oneself. When we feel this emotion about a phenomenon and to, animal, or person, 100% of the time we will be less afraid of it by gaining knowledge about it. This is a more productive and safer way of confronting fear then facing it head on.
