My fear enabled me to run a little bit faster up that hill. Fear is a funny thing. It is often irrational, yet it can take over your life in an instant. Your heart races, you break out in a cold sweat, your mouth goes dry. Fear seizes control of your entire being.
Fear can be a terrible thing, even crippling for some people.
I checked the Internet and found a phobia page. There were hundreds of phobias listed there. I've included a few on the study guides. As I said, there are hundreds on that list, but they don't even begin to enumerate the fears of people. All too often, fear becomes the guiding force in the lives of people.
