You are asking for something very ignorant.
Fear can be very beneficial at times and is a primary human instinct.
I would refer you to my replies on the subject.
I am only talking about one specific fear, the fear of the unknown
I think you will find the term 'primary human instinct' fell by the side some time ago, decades.

Its the fear of the possibility of what might happen to you] even though you don't know whether anything will happen to you. Its an unnatural fear, one that has been fostered upon you by events beyond your control, IE: 9/11
In believing that there is no one left who has no fear of the unknown the PTB offer everyone the guarantee of safety and security but in return you must relinquish to them many of the freedoms you have always taken for granted. Once we accept their terms, if we are so foolish to, and they think we are, they can control every facet of our lives as they please.
I hope this helps.

A little late on the reply, but better late than never. Now let's wait and see.

I enjoyed reading through this. I have no fear of the unknown, and am into adventures. I find the unknown very exciting.
I honestly, and categorically declare to the entire world that I have no fear of the unknown whatsoever.

I do not fear the unknown, I embrace it. Not knowing what could happen is one of the joys of life. How could you fear that. It is what it is all about. The future it excites me. I have no idea what happens. But i know i am looking forward to it.
I only have one fear... Spiders.
