IMO, while fear does serve a purpose, too much of it can be a tool of propaganda to incite negative emotions. I feel like we've been living through the worst of Shock Doctrine for a very long time. That's just my opinion, yes.

Maybe I should repost the above without the Cherokee legend reference.

In any case, our lives are always about choices...yes, indeed, we do not have to swallow the fear fed to us via the media, if only we all realized that.
