Learning from Fear

What is fear other than the mind judging an experience (internal or external) as "not okay". And thus using its power of creativity/imagination to anticipate dark futures.

Haven't we endured fears of many kinds over the years...in the waking state as well as in dreams.
Is not endurance of fear a way to liberation, to fearlessness?

What we need in times of panic/fear is faith, patience and a gentle kindness with which to see ourselves and our suffering. This faith may be in love - that which several others have offered to us selflessly.

And we have to just be because truly, everything that came, must leave.
