no one can escape fear

 

[-Hatake-]

Fear is good, if you fear something, you make sure that you don't experience it.

"You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak." - TDKR

It depend.Fear is an evolutionary trait and it's good since it protects you from harmful situations.
Too much fear for everything isn't good cause it deprives you from experiencing things.

This, basically.

 

[Ƒālconer]

to some extent it is good.

 

[Drizzy]

It's a broad topic, it's just up to a person to control fear. Fear is what aids in decision making (or taking action) which can affect the life of oneself and others. Fear can also keep oneself and others safe. If a man has great fear of dying or being imprisoned, he won't steal or murder. On the other hand, someone may fear failure, restricting he/she to not go after life goals.

 

[ThomasJeffersonwasasadist]

those options are too one sided its good and bad. good because it makes you cautious bad because if you let it control you actions instead of just acknowledging a dangerous situation you will panic and your chances of avoiding pain or discomfort drastically decrease.

 

[avenged sevenfold]

fear can be used for the better god or the worser evil. it has its advantages and disadvantages

 

[sagemode jinchuuriki]

Fear is not a good thing to have because it could harm people by making them cowards or attacking out of fear

 

[Pravin5]

I will consider you a fool if you dont fear anything.
so yeah fear is important thing in our life, sometimes it helps to control ourself.

 

[Mephistopheles]

It depends on what kind of fear. Sometimes fear will stop us from doing stupid things. Someone who is afraid to die will do everything to keep themselves alive, someone who is afraid of fire will make sure they don't accidental leave the gas running and so on. Some fears are not needed or irrational, like the fear for spiders, clowns, your own shadow, etcetera. Those things are not really good. I had a friend with a fear for birds and he was driving his car and suddenly a bird flew over, I swear he suddenly had his head beneath the steering wheel to 'hide'. Those fears are not good for they can cause you and the ones around you danger

So it depends on what kind of fear and in what measures it is felt. Some feelings of fear are exaggerated, making them unreal and not good.

I didn't read this whole thing, scanned through it but he has a pretty good idea of what I wanted to say.

 

[Jin Hayami]

As long as it's not crippling its good. Fear tells your body that it's in danger. From there you decide if you can ignore that danger. If you don't get past your fear then you are weak minded.

Agreed, but, acting off of instinct isn't always the best thing.
