More on Fear
Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.
Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.
When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can. Knowledge conquers fear.
