Fear is good. Does it even have an opposite emotion? Calmness, courage, trust, curiosity. All too weak, perhaps. All reactionary? Not proactive or powerful enough to match fear?"

Fear was Gaddaffi. Fear was Mussolini. Fear was Khomeini. Fear was Rasputin. Fear was the bubonic plague. Fear was WW2. Fear is a tsunami. Fear is the threat of nuclear war.
