"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."

I often wonder what would happen in life if we didn't feel the need to have societal experiments rigged toward cultivating fear. The quote above suggests that eliminating fear as the end result of such experiments, would simply be found in understanding. What I find surpising is how many people would prefer to grow fear in the petri dish, than would be willing to examine the evidence in an unbiased manner. When we look through a microscope at human existence and focus only on the one thing we are looking for, in time that is all we'll ever see.
