We ought to minimize this basic, natural feeling whether it be fear of the unknown, fear of oppressors, or fear of everything from germs to broccoli. We should keep faith in our beliefs about reality--no matter what they are--in order to have a better grasp of our environment and thus less reason to fear it. I say that we should follow Yoda: "Do or do not. There is no try." Yes, there are some cases in which fear is justified, such as fear (respect) of God and fear (respect) of traditions. But ultimately, we should find a way to just DO our lives without thinking too hard about the consequences. Just DO it, as the Nike slogan posits. Don't live with illegitimate fear. What do you think? What's a solution to this problem that has plagued individuals all over the world?
