"Fear is the embryo of hatred"---American Poet

What makes you fear something? The most obvious answer would be your individual assement of the potential of something to harm you. For example, some of you fear rollercoasters and some of you don't. Varying assesments of potential harm determine rather or not someone will ride or not ride a rollercoaster. Initial assements of potential harm will determine if someone will ride a roller coaster for the first time. If you ride a coaster for the first time and are fearful of riding one again that means your initial assements of potential harm were not accurate for whatever reason. Having an inaccurate assement is due to a lack of or misrepresentation of information about yourself and/or the object of assement. So if you properly assess the harm value of something relative to you, individually you are a making a quality choice. Not everyone fears the same things. Some fear nothing at all. Is fear an illusion? Is fear a cover-up?

..."Not" the "Right" thing to do...? In other words, aren't there situations in life where "both" and/or "neither" would actually be the "correct" evaluation of the situation given all the situations' kaleidoscopic details and parameters...?
