Where does fear come from? Thought - remember that fear is only coming from your mind; its origin is simply a thought about something that has not happened yet. I'm not talking about a protective reaction, such as taking flight from a charging rhino, that is different that is self-preservation and reactionary. Anger is a reaction of self-preservation as well that is why the two seemingly relate. The only big difference is one is necessary, as in the example of running from the rhino, the other is a habitually conditioned reaction that we don’t really need. We have trained ourselves to use anger as a defensive mechanism. We must see that we are using anger as a way to defend ourselves.

My question is about fear. How does it relate to anger? They seem to be intertwined emotions. How do you deal with fear in your life? I was also wondering if you have seen the movie Crash. I kept thinking about it during the Anger podcasts. It is a great example of Anger really being a pain and suffering response and that it really isn't "who you are". For every character in the movie, their violent outburts were seeded in a previous loss, disapointment, or injustice of some kind. Thanks Again, Julie Hi Robert:
