What difference does it make? If what must be done is dangerous you only hope the fear won't get in the way. Now living is a pretty sweet deal but it turns out to have an expiration date. No one looks forward to that date, unless they've been drinking the kool aid and have begun looking forward to the delusional.
Some fear is necessary. Fear of death keeps you from completely squandering your precious life. It allows for the feeling of exhilaration you get on a roller coaster. It sometimes gives you a little pump of adrenaline to get you through a tight spot. Like it or lump it, you're in. You're alive so you're going to be dead. The only way to avoid it is to hypnotize yourself into believing you have a whole heaven full of virgins waiting for you on the other side. The fear will still be there and make you neurotic as hell but it will allow you to talk a good game. I think I'd prefer to take my fear straight, no mixer.
