Do we allow fear to shape our lives? (34)
All this philosophy is crap. Fear is necessary. Without it we would jump at anything. It is a safety mechanism in our psyche. If you don't have some fear in everything you do you will never know your limitations... Remember Clint Eastwood?... "man must know his limitations..."
I'm like many many people...been hurt several times in relationships and always when it gets good then I begin to fear that it won't stay good...then if I do get hurt I realize the fear and the pain that sometimes follows...but, it does not stop me from going for it again... no pain, no gain. I've had ladies tell me they didn't want to hurt me... my inner thoughts just say "hurt me baby! hurt me!"..... if I don't at least give it a chance then I'll never know what may have been.... is that philosophical enough? From the words of Abe Lincoln, I learned to work but never learned to like it....so, my words.. I've learned what pain is, I've never learned to like pain...but I know that without it and without the fear and taking that chance I'll never accomplish anything.

then it shapes your life as D suggests ... 
even if it is realization of fear and dam the topedoes I'm going in regardless.
and pain, hurt, are different from fear. Fear that you allow, or gravitate toward is no longer a fear but maybe a curiousity.. jmho.
It is that curiousity that feeds accomplishment don't not you think?

I think we've all made that error from time to time; I'd rather be mistaken than afraid to try.

Yes sadly a lot of people let fear get in the way of things.. being cautious is one thing, but if you really want to make something work... you have to be able to overcome the fear, or maybe that's just an excuse not to meet...
