>The absence of fear is terrifying.

when there's a terrorist attack, "don't let them win, don't be afraid", and now you're saying people should be afraid?



Terrorism isn’t what we should be afraid of.


I'm reminded of the saying (sorry I don't remember a good quote, but one is from Farscape): "fear at the prospect of death while calm shepherds its certainty."


Fear is what motivated Jewish members of my family to flee Europe as Hitlers rose to power. Fear is an important driver for survival.


been on my mind a lot lately, too.
