Fear

What are you afraid of ?

Spiders, needles, heights, being unemployed, being single, being married or appearing foolish or perhaps all of the above..

I put forth that fear is good for us. It warns us away from various forms of stupidity, and acts as an intellectual brake when we might do something that's ill-conceived.

Too much fear though - when living in fear...that's not good. That's hiding and the trick as always is to know the difference. I'd also put forth engaging our fear a little isn't a bad thing either as we grow as people in the process.

Try it, challenge your own fears within limits and you will feel very alive.
