Question
Fear.
I am always afraid, paralyzed by it, and despite my efforts I cannot get rid of it. Am I condemned to live with it? Perhaps some people are fearful by nature. Do you know of any courses against fear that go beyond talking or reading and involve action? I feel I need to provoke it in real life.
Thank you in advance.
