Plato, yes yes; the Kahlil Gibran think reminds me that fear (which stops us from acting) is linked to doing things for a selfish reason, esp. where relationships and just interacting with other people, is concerned. In contrast, if you're coming from a genuine loving and giving place, the fear isn't there, or isn't so strong.
Vasilisa; yes, I very much agree with your views on courage, it could be a whole new thread in fact. Not being inhibited by our fears, but to keep expressing ourselves.
