fear seems to be a doorway to darkness, that we can choose to move into, and be engulfed by.
sitting right next to it, is a doorway to light, although sometimes this door is closed and we don't know it is there (through ignorance of another possibility).
we are shown the dark doorway by other people's experiences and through what we observe in others and ourselves.
very rarely do we see the brighter way.
it doesn't make it any easier to deal with engrained and persistent fears; sometimes it takes a brighter light to show us the other doorway.
such doorways of pure love and wisdom are paragons known as Jesus, Buddha, and other remarkable individuals (such as my brother in real life, whom I don't claim to be an avatar, but is pure open heartedness).
The light is the antidote to fear, that there is another way.

I don't claim to lead a fearless life; but I know there is definitely another way
