As the AA Book says, "Fear is an evil, corroding thread;
the fabric of our lives is shot through with it."
Fear is surely a bar to reason, and to love,
and of course it invariably powers anger, vainglory,
and aggression.
It underlies maudlin guilt and paralyzing depression.
President Roosevelt once made the significant remark that
"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
This is a severe indictment, and it is possibly
too sweeping.
For all its usual destructiveness, we have found
that fear can be the starting point for better things.
- Bill W., January 1962.

Thought to Ponder....

Fear is not an admission of weakness;
fear is an opportunity for courage.
