And fear also seeks to protect gratitude from the state of ingratitude, certainty from doubt, and vision from blindness. It safeguards the individual but also seeks to protect others and society. That is what fear is, it's a protector. Don't ever mix that with cowardice.
Cowardice is precisely the sort of fear that is feared for its own sake, and paralyzes the person from exploring the real basis of the fear.
For example, the type of fear you wax lyrical about.
