One thing I have learned from school is that life is a stage the more you move up the more it gets tougher, each level comes with demons to fear and work it. I realize some people finish school not because of the future and the benefits that might come with it but because of fear of their parents, they all said they are tired of school but finish it anyway. I know some people that do let this fear make them do something bad and just like in school they drop out regardless of what their parents will say.
Fear of what we don't know is not always too much just like predicting the future or some advice from an elderly person don't move people too much because we don't know the pain that comes with it and never feel it and we always assume we will be alright. Fear is very powerful and some terrible leaders that know its power prefer to lead by it because things become easier when people fear you and all you have to do is install it in people. Most people make decision-based on the fear they know and not the ones they don't know almost everybody fears what they are familiar it but the wise fear what they don't know.
Fear it
Everything in life comes with fear and sometimes fear makes us a better person a perfect example is when you love someone there is always a fear that comes with especially if you are the type that has been through a lot in the past, fear also makes our decision making better and an example is where you are trying to invest a new project it makes you do more homework on the project and this can be good. Fear comes with love because you don't want to lose what you love. Fear comes with hate, fear comes with business and fear is a human thing that is good and bad.
We have a lot of people that are controlled by their fear and it is not because they are weak but the past events might have traumatized them we see these often in crypto where people missed one opportunity but in other not miss another one they let the fear of missing out controlled their decision making and this might not work out as planned. People get controlled by their fear when the past event is either too harsh to bear or too good to lose.
Use it and don't let use you
When our fear controls us it leads to many other problems, when fear wins over our mind even when we know what is right we won't be able to do it. We must not let our fear control us and overcloud our judgment, we must use our fear to analyze and calculate and it must be part of the tools that make us better not the one drowning us.
