Do you think that fear is our greatest enemy?  

i dont think that fear is something to be conquered. fear has kept us alive for generations, and is needed in life. it is the fear of breaking the law that keeps us from stealing, or murder, and it is the fear of millions of death that keeps nations from waging endless war. if you truely conquered fear, there would be nothing to stop you, this is true, but in the process all sense of morality is lost, along with the ability to discern fight from wrong, as it is fear that helps us to learn this, the fear of doing the wrong thing. what we need to conquer is not fear, but the pointless feelings of fear that are misplaced.

Fear is only one of our emotions that many feel they could do without. We feel fear because it protects us from harm. Where we go wrong is we often feel fear where there is truly nothing to fear. This, I think, is fear born out of ignorance of a given situation. We truly do not know why something is the way it is but somehow it seems it could be bad so we fear it. Of course there are always people who will not let fear stop them from what ever they want to do. Often that cost them their lives.

Conquering fear only comes with understanding whatever it may be that we do not understand. Once we know more about something then fear takes it's proper place.

None of us are capable of illuminating fear completely. Nor should we. But if we come to know when we have that feeling it should motivate us to find out more about it, and soon, we are then on the right track for reducing it.

I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of pain, fear of rejection.
Roosevelt was qutie right, we have nothing to fear but fear itself...
so, let us brave to face anything...

Fear has its good side and its bad side.

Fear can keep us away from danger, but fear can stop us from progressing.

Fear of being caught and the penalty it brings can stop a would-be crim - but does nothing to change his nature. If he conquers the fear, it is NOT the beginning of wisdom. On the other hand, fear of failure can stop us from proceeding with an opportunity, and conquering that fear could be the beginning of wisdom.

Fear often comes from pride, which I believe is the basis of most negative feelings. I might fear to say or do what I believe, because I fear what others will think of me.

While fear can be beneficial, I believe it is mostly negative and will produce negative results.

yes they all are right ask this question from a person who is phobiac then make him in his worst position show him the thing he is afraid of then you will know how fear can make us feel dead before our time.

fear is a great enemy in our lives and needs to be put out of our minds,is also a danger to our health,it is because of fear we we are so very afraid to die much more to even talk about it,fear as controlled the lives of many,fear as always been a threat to even walk at nights to even walk in the dark,it is fear that makes us run when we should stand and fight,it is fear that makes u afraid to even tell some one no,it is fear that makes us afraid to want to learn the deepest truths in our universe,it is fear that makes us not want to explore the facts for ourselves,it is fear that as made so many weak generations,before and to come,it is fear that we will be conqured easily if we don't conqure fear,may the blessings be

Have you read the poem,'Where the mind is without fear,' by Rabindranath Tagore, the great philosopher and educationist? Well, he too stressed the importance of curbing fear in order to be better educated and wiser. He also stressed that parents and educators should not dictate to children and that a proper approach without instilling fear is the best method of training and educating the young. Yes, fear can lead to many unwanted behaviour in man. It is unhealthy to instill fear in young minds as it leads to insecure personalities.

you knnow,there is not a time i didn't fear.WE humen are so weak that anything will easily take you life,break you blieve,and make you lose hope.so i do really believe fear is not our enemy but our friend.It's teach us who we are ,what we can do and where is our limit.

fear is the biggest enemy of human.. because it limits the human to take any step forward.. stops our growth.. and retrieves and confines us to our old system...

I do think that fear is one of our greatest enemies (apart from Satan, as I am religious) because fear keeps us from doings things that we would've been able to do otherwise. However, with fear (to some extent), it also helps to prevent us from doing things we shouldn't be doing, such as jumping off a cliff. In my opinion, I still do believe that fear is one of our greatest enemies and that the way to conquer it would be to attack it head on. There's no way around fear. If you want to overcome the fear, you attack it and force yourself to not be scared of what it is you are fearful of.
