Remember, Anger leads you to Fear and Fear leads you to the Dark Side of the Force.

according to metaphysicians, one's life can either be directed by fear based behaviors or those based on love. guided by the former one is very self protective, closed, ego-ridden and self involved. based on the latter, the opposite. fear closes you down, makes you greedy and selfish. love opens you to life and all of its experiences, without self repression and anxiety. the major fear of course is death, and the unknown, generally. once the fear of death is overcome, by whatever means, quality of life changes dramatically, and you are "free". traditionally, through dedicated meditation and other energy practices you reach a state of consciousness that allows you to understand life and death from a "higher" perspective, and this helps alot. so, anyone can do this if they choose to spend the time at it.

generally the 2 responses to fear are FIGHT and FLIGHT
typically people either ignore/run-away from the cause of the fear or they turn to battle it and face it.
if one gets into a habit of running from a fear- it can become a great hindrance in their life. it can overtake them and they can become obsessed with their fear.
hope this helps.

Fear can overcome common sense when making decisions!
