Hence, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself". Franklin D Roosevelt got
that one right.

 

History interlude: FDR could possibly have been overthrown in 1933, in the
installation of a Fascist regime - American style -- planned for the USA by
various plutocrats of the era - including Henry Ford. If it were not for
Smedley Butler, a highly decorated WWI Marine Corps Major General, who had
been selected by them to be the American Mussolini, but who, instead blew
the whole Business Plot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot>  wide
open, in Congress (which later substantiated much of what he had claimed) -
though the powerful elite plutocrats involved denied his accusations, and
were never prosecuted. 

So, as a matter of fact FDR actually did have something to fear other than
fear itself.. J

Power is a deadly business for sure.

Nice... I mean bad :)
Fear becomes, within the hidden unexamined recesses of mind, a self-driving
psychological mechanism, where our fear of something becomes the thing we
fear and begins to take over more and more of the mind -- if not faced that
is.
Facing one's own primal visceral fears is the very hardest thing for a
person to ever do -- IMO -- the mind will try any trick and throw up its
best rationalizations why the fear should remain buried within and not be
faced. To face one's fears is a painful terrifying process, but is also the
only means of escaping the fate of being driven by them.
A mind can never awaken as long as it remains primarily driven by its
unconscious (preconscious maybe is a better word) zombie processes. Often,
even just recognizing that these exist within us is the hardest part. Once
recognized, for being what they are, at least the mind becomes aware of them
and can begin to act upon that awareness and in a more self-aware manner.
