Fear is [Not Always] Fertile Ground for New Ideas

It's perfectly okay to feel fear; after all, fear is an emotion that's an inherent part of our lives, as author Erich Kästner once said, "Life is always life-threatening."

Fears and worries accompany us throughout our lives, and in some ways, that's a good thing. Without fear, we might not be able to survive, nor would we develop meaningful coping strategies. Nevertheless, sometimes fear can persist over an extended period, negatively impacting our daily lives.
