<p>Fear, the worst scourge of mankind. Fear, the hurdle that makes almost any further development impossible. Fear, the emotion gripping us tighter than everything and everyone else. The one power that some know how to tap into and use against us. The one power that enables one to rule over others, to lead them, to dictate to them. The one power that brings people to say yes to exploitation, to transgression, to brutality. Where would the world be today if fear did not have such a tight grip on it? Where would each individual be if they had the courage to say yes to themselves, to life, to love, to God? What it is, fear in the big picture and in small things, the fear that guides us and the fear that inhibits us, how to use it, how to overcome it. All this and more is in this article.
