Fear is in the air these days - the economy, the war, global warming, disease pandemics, the fall of the American Empire - and basically, the end of the world.
From foreign policy to personal choices, our habitual responses are often fear-based.
Fear motivates.
What spurs the financial markets? The insurance industry? Applying for kindergarten? Fear.
Without it, terrorists would be out of a job, because no one would be terrified.
The stress of constant anxiety is bad for individuals, as well as cultures.

We don't need fear as entertainment.
How can we stop reacting with fear? The same way we would step back from any negative emotion - by understanding that we have a choice.
Fear and worry are emotional misperceptions.

Refuse to resonate with it.
