Enjoying this thread, thanks everyone.
The opposite of fear? Well my immediate thought was that love is the opposite of fear.
Self love. The trust in myself that I will remove myself from danger.
I have found over time and working my program that a lot of things I was afraid of, I no longer have to be. So as a helpless small child growing up in an unsafe alcoholic home, I rightfully was afraid of many things, now I am grown up, I do not need to be.
So by reassessing old attitudes, updating them, those former fears are now neutral.
So maybe the opposite of fear is neutrality.
Have a peaceful day, all.
