Most of us are afraid of something. Of course, we do not generally admit it; sometimes not even to ourselves. All this is perfectly EW, because -our first business is 'self 'preservation; and we become _ aware of danger to ourselves in certain quarters. That sense of danger is the cause of fear, unless we are certain that we have ample resources to overcome the danger so far as we are concerned, Fear does two bad things. 1. It gathers to itself much 'that is imaginary in order to prove that there is real cause for fear. 2. It is likely to result in hate of what is feared as Shakespeare puts it--"In time we hate - tha which -we also fear." It is hate, the by-product of ton; that dosh most damage in our lives. Men and women who could readily be helpful friends are often removed from "us by barricades of fear and hate. And hate is most destructive to the hater. : If we must be afraid it is best to be sure that the cause of our fear is real. If we must hate, we should be sure that a real enemy exists that cannot be overcome by common-sense, and decent treatment. : The general cure of fear is direct action." ™ Burns puts it--""Nursing her wrath to keep it warm" aptly describes the state of mind, of those who sit and brood over their fears... The mind filled with constructive thought has but little room for fear. The body properly cared for, duly "rested, 'actively busy in worth- while tasks, seldom houses fear. i If we grasp the nettles of fear firmly, the tial disappears.
