    Funny. “Fear keeps you alive” is one I use fairly often.

      lol also true! I think of mine more in the context of when I see things from the media. If they seem to be instilling fear (omg immigrants are coming, they’re scary), it’s because they don’t want you to think critically.

        Yeah, the challenge is really to figure out if a fear is useful, or an unhelpful remnant from earlier on in your own life, or in evolution.
