I have a question about fear.
Why is fear bad? The way I see it, fear keeps you from making bad choices. Our jail cells, hospital beds, and cemeteries are filled with people who made terrible choices because they weren't afraid of something they should have been afraid of.
By the way, Proverbs 14:16 in the King James Bible states “A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.”
