... Conquering Our Fears Some people are afraid of the future, some of ill-health, some of death. Others go in terror of certain physical circumstances- confined spaces, darkness, heights, water. Yet others are in a continual state of panic about the safety of those near and dear to them. And some are just afraid. They could not put their fears into words. They don't really know of what it is they are afraid but a dark shadow seems to hang over them, and they live in a perpetual state of uneasiness. Normal fear is a protection against danger. But these morbid, enervating, illogical phobias which destroy so much human happiness are enemies to be fought resolutely. Here is a threefold weapon for the battle. First comes the acceptance of our fears. There are those who try to help us by saying, "There is nothing to be afraid of" or "Your fears are quite imaginary."
