The fears I have listed are, truthfully, only a few of the fears I could quickly think of.  But the world you and I live in is one that is FULL of fear.  Fear is everywhere we look, it is in our politicians, in our police officers, it is in my parents who are trying to save for my college expenses, and it is in both me and you.  The media feeds our fear, too.  The next election our citizens have to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, and I fear for this country's future.  I have a fear of heights, and a fear of exclusion.  Fear is powerful, and it dominates our society.  But as I mature and get older, I continue to learn that we ought to overcome fear altogether.  And that doesn't mean one should simply find a way to ignore the fear of heights, but understand that fear holds us back from being able to experience other emotions.

A wise man once said;
"The only thing to fear is fear itself".
