some fear is undirected, what action to take? Just any action better than nothing?
today, I feared the hammering upstairs, the people walking on the streets. Don't see the right action. I could drug myself to sleep?
I did phone Canon for my camera though, I had feared that. That helped. So it depends I think (like with so many things. I have an aversion against statements of an universalistic nature)
I would think undirected fear is a different problem - where the need is to identify the fear before it can be conquered. I think the statement is directed to idenitified and concrete fears, but that points to another level of the problem: dealing with the inchoate fears that can be equally a handicap.

And then fear waking? I think this is all part of the dictum that there is really nothing to fear but fear itslef. That is, of course, not true, but there's truth in it.

Good for you! Way to go!

And I am likely to cite a statement in one breath and its apparant contradiction in the next - and hold them both true. Reality is manifold, complex, and paradoxical.
