fear is just a normal reaction, a feeling
towards
something one has not come across before,
a situation one has never been into,
something one has not enough knowledge of
a situation one has not the confidence to handle

to listen and not merely hear, is a way to have enough knowledge
to have enough knowledge is a way to understanding
to understand with your heart is a way to wisdom
with wisdom is confidence
and confidence conquers fear

wisdom is received by those who seek for it...

if one does not experience fear how can one live life to the full? for isn't life filled with the unexpected and the unseen for us to discover?

i just want to add: fear is the beginning of wisdom but fools despise understanding. Fear is healthy - I agree with you that because of fear, we start to seek knowledge, then understanding, then wisdom.. until what we presently fear about is conquered..we feel good after.. then face the next.. it goes on and on... that we ought to keep learning and and keep seeking for wisdom.. thanks, your post gave me a new insight
