fierce bulldog with no teeth.
Of course, we must fear a fierce bulldog that is chasing us to bite us. But what if we were scared of a bulldog with no teeth? Most fears can't bite us! But we develop phobias which make us live with fear. We must realize the difference between a fear and danger. FEAR is only a False Expectation that Appears to be Real. It is not a real danger. We must learn to live with courage and face our fears, realizing that most of our fears are not real dangers. We should not imagine or overthink and make our fears more dangerous than they are! We must learn to put our fears in proper perspective. Fear makes the wolf bigger than it is!
