Nothing to Fear (Including Fear Itself)

Do you know which former President of the United States said this popular quote?: "Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself." No matter who he was, he could have been more positive. It was FDR that is known for this saying around the time of the World War II. I wonder what would have come about in the nation had he mentioned something along the lines of there being nothing to fear as long as Americans were well-informed, and understood, accepted, and forgave people for things which they did not respect.

There is nothing to fear. Why would we want to go fearing fear? Sometimes we can use fear to protect us from harm. Other times, we take advantage of fear and use it to our disadvantage without considering the consequences.

There sure is a lot of talk about fear and doubt these days. Someone should really write a book about the topic, but do so from a fun perspective. Yes, a serious and sometimes misunderstood topic combined with a light-hearted take on understanding it and as my mom would say, "Getting over it" would be nice.

Fear doesn't have to be such a bad thing in our lives. When it is a bad thing, however, there are often ways to recognize when it's best for it to be the worst. Are my writing skills getting any better? Just you wait, kids, just you wait.
