Well no I'm definitely living life with fear but I think that's only natural. Being afraid isn't something that anybody or anyone should be afraid of, Its not something that should be dismissed or casted away, no, not by any means. To me, fear is an important part of life.

Fear of death proves that you actually value your life, infact every fear is proof that you're human. Any fool can wake up and make stupid decisions and do things that make him look brave, but overcoming your fear to do something...that is true bravery. Fear itself provides us with the opportunity to be brave and despite what anyone says, being brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid, it just means that you've been able to overcome it, it means that even though you might be terrified of taking a step, you've willed your mind and body into doing it. Fear in many ways holds alot of us back from achieving our true potential, but the truth is that overcoming that fear is a big part of achieving it.

A long time ago, when I was still in college, I think in my first year, I was sleeping around 2am when I happened to be awakened by something. A girl was screaming around 2am outside my apartment complex, apparently she'd just been robbed and the robbers had stabbed her as well. It only took me about 5 secs to realise that the person was a friend of mine, a dear friend at that, I knew I had to go out and help her. Unfortunately, when I tried to move, I couldn't, I was completely paralysed by fear, for how long, I'm not sure, but I couldn't move a single muscle, I started to think I was having sleep paralysis but the truth was I was just simply terrified. So much was going through my mind, What if they come back and stab me too?? What if the police get there and say I did it?? What if my friend bleeds out and dies?? That last part hit me hard and with my whole body shaking I got up and went to go and meet her.

Thankfully the wounds weren't serious, a couple of deep cuts, but nothing life threatening. Me and some of my friends rushed her to the hospital and she was ok. The reason why I'm saying all this is because I was terrified, I was scared, but I was able to overcome it. No matter how you see it, overcoming fear is an important part of life and you can't overcome dear if you have no fear whatsoever.

Good points, but there actually is a time when you simply eliminate all the fears from your life

Usually it happens after hard spiritual awakening when you comprehend the fact how you are infinite being that & this earthly life is nothing but a fractal illusion in the sea of universes you've been through & will be
