Most fear centres around losing something you value. The more you develop nonattachment, the less vulnerable you will be.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
"If we act out of fear and not hope we get bitter and not better"
Ultimately, we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom.
A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.
Pll tell you what freedom is to me: no fear. I mean really, no fear!
From endearment, affection, attachment, lust and craving springs grief, springs fear. For him who is wholly free from endearment, affection, attachment. Lust and craving; there is no grief, much less fear.
Fear follows crime, and is its punishment.
