you shouldnt be scared of failing or being afraid of anything because the only thing that will mess you up is the fear you have in the first place.
im guessing...but this assignment isnt really about right or wrong is it? its about what YOU think @_@ |

Hmm this is a toughy. seems like our fear, is what we fear. I know it so does not make any sense...well kinda but like were afraid our fear of something will swallow us up. If we don't do anything to take control of it. You, yourself is the only one who is afraid of this fear and the only way to get rid of it is standing up to it and taking it on. Though its the biggest fear in our lives...kinda understand,,,yet don't. iunno goodluck hopefully i kinda helped sorta

IMO i think it could possibly mean We have nothing to fear, but the fear that holds us back from becoming/being a better person . Or the fear that keeps us from doing things in situations for the better.

QUOTE The quotation is basically saying that nothing is worth your fear, but because you fear things, you destroy yourself. For example, you have a fear of water and this fear has hindered you from learning to swim. Water is not holding you back from learning to swim, YOUR FEAR is keeping you from swimming.
So, you should be fearing "fear itself". |
