Im suggesting that knowledge and preparation is one thing fear another.

A fireman need a cool head when rescuing some one from fire, he needs to calm the person that he is risking his life to save, of course its dangerous, would fear help? I think not.

The Climber and fire man are totally in the NOW. They cant afford to think of fear, or whats for supper for that matter. Their lives and others depend on being completely focused.

So Im suggesting that we have evolved beyond the animal instincts, they have served us well. Now we have the ability to be aware of danger with out the need for fight or flight adrenalin, we are evolving becoming more Right brain humans.

The rock climber and the fireman overcome their fear through their experience and training. This is their process of evolution. As one becomes more knowledgeable through experience the fear subsides. The fear of climbing and firefighting subsides.
Upon arising in the morning and walking through the kitchen and you happen to step on a wet rope fear will seize your mind thinking it is a snake ready to bite, but as you look down to see the snake you then realize that the supposed snake is a rope and the fear is gone. Learning from this experience the wet rope will have no more fear in your life should you step on it again. Had it been a snake, a quick reaction on your part induced by the fear may have saved you from a deadly bite.
