Is fear a two way thing?
Fear is used for many things not always for the good. It is used to control and keep people in line. Terror is fear. But fear in another way, does also protect us from ourselves. My wife turns our gas container of every night for fear it will explode . The fear of danger makes us hide so we won't be found. The fear of being electrocuted makes us wear rubber gloves and shoes. So in many ways fear has its good points too. Fear helps us to protect ourselves.
