I found this discussion incredibly shallow. Of course fear can be bad.
After all it gave us the Bush administration and the Iraq war. On the
other hand some things are worth fearing. The demand on oil is going up
which causes the price of energy to go up. This will have fearful
consequences for many people. The earth is warming, regardless of the
source of this energy. This will also have fearful consequences. I
person has to identify fearful situations and avoid them. If people in
New Orleans had feared a major Hurricane, as was predicted, they would
have better protected themselves, or moved. So, what is the point to
this essay?
