"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
--- Yoda
Yeah, I know he was a puppet, but he did know what he was talking about.
Listening to our fear is one of the reasons we are alive. It's an alarm system to let us know we are in danger.
It's when we let our fears alone determine our focus and actions that we get ourselves into trouble.
Trust, but verify;
trust your feelings, but verify that there is an actual threat before acting.
