I'm not a student of philosophy but I have experienced fear and reacted in a way I think was wrong. And had a lot of time to contemplate over it afterwards. I suppose we should establish that the subject is fear... not a real physical danger although that could involved. I can't answer what it means for you. To me, hiding or avoiding a fear gives it more power. Feeds it... strengthens it. And prolongs its life. Fear can be a necessary and useful emotion. It's a normal reaction based on self preservation in many instances obviously. Climbing a tall rickety ladder to get on a steeply pitched roof or a rattlesnake on the path. He doesn't seem to be talking about that kind of fear tho it seems to me. More abstract fears such as getting on that bus or facing those uncertain fears waiting outside your door.
Do I seem to be on the right track?
