Fears and phobias

Following the discussion about fears and phobias, it's time for us to share our views on this interesting topic.

To begin with, I'd like to share a few quotes I found very interesting in relation to the topic.

'Thinking will not overcome fear, 

but action will.' 

W. Clement Stone

'We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.' 

Plato

´The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.'

H.P Lovecraft

Have your say.

• Do you find these quotes interesting, too? Which one(s)? Why?
• Do you have any fears of phobias?
• How do your fears or phobias interfere with your life?
• What fear or phobia would be the most troublesome in the modern world?

Let's share views on this issue.
I will be looking forward to your comments.
