Fear is such a primal emotion that it can bring out the best and the worst in us.
Fear of an enemy - it can force you into resignation even before the start of a fight
Fear of death - it can motivate you to your greatest escape
Fear of stagnation - it can lead you to the most adventurous journeys
Fear of truth - it can force you to create your own universe of lies
Fear of rejection - it can make you a second-hand individual (all you Ayn Rand fanatics will understand this)
Fear of destiny - it can rot your very core and suck all ambition out of you
Fear of loss - it can debase you to crave victory at any cost and by any means. It can bring out the animal in you
Yet, there is such a thin line between fear and belief, between fear and confidence, between fear and courage, between life and death.

If we had no fear to face how would be battle our demons and emerge better stronger people?
I think it is the giving up due to fear that is the real downer.
I see promises are being kept so far. :D
i disagree with the last fear. there is a difference between fear of failure and that of loss. the first galvanizes you into straining every sinew...the latter paralyses you.
EU - gabbar probably suffered from the worst of all fears - the fear of being afraid!
DHC - agree with you. And that is why my next sentence talkd about the thin line - which separates the consequences of what you let that fear do to you.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with being afraid. But the imp part is how do I channelise it?
