Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. The list is endless where fear is considered. Think about it, fear is the basis for every single lack of inability or inaction with which one can possibly be faced.
Fear is defined as anxiety caused by real or possible danger, pain, discomfort or general dis-ease.
Attempts to avoid or allay any fear is natural, of course, but I question the amount of power one gives away with this avoidance routine. For the sake of argument, let us presume there is only one fear, fear of the unknown, except in cases of obvious physical peril. After all, unless one is psychic or acutely perceptive, one cannot possibly know the outcome of any potential situation demanding attention. It's a big topic, we're faced with a myriad of sources that can fuel enough fear to make the strongest of us suffer from agoraphobia, or more simply stated, fear of just going out into the public. Those who are addicted to news headlines and current events know of what I speak.
