Posting so I remember to make a longer reply when its not 3am.
I can see fear being the root of alot of things but then I dont in others..I'll elaborate tomorrow and hopefully someone can try explain to me what I'm missing.
But yeah irrational fear fucks up alot of things for alot of people..and most dont even realise it.

Because fear is so closely linked to loss [of stuff, people, life, etc.], and loss is a precursor to desire, which is the root of suffering, it stands to reason that fear and suffering go hand in hand.

How is loss a precursor to desire? The desire to replace that which you lost?

I think so. Or maybe to "replace" (for lack of a better word) that which you never had. Like when you see a commercial for something you didn't know existed but now you think you can't live without.

I can see that...Makes sense, another reason to dislike the excessive materialism in modern society. Well thanks to you too! 
Wait, didn't somebody condemn materialism as causing suffering before? 
Quote:
Being free of fear is certainly praised in the buddhadharma. One of the three major types of giving is giving someone protection from fear.
See..I dont get how people would rather believe in a religion, that in my country kept homosexuality and contraception illegal until the 90's (hell divorce was illegal until the 80's I think), over a philosophy hat propagates idea's such as the above...Oh wait its because they dont think about it...*Sigh

No, more like the opposite. I don't really ever have the feeling of fear I guess. It doesn't make any sense to unless the situation calls for it, like when there is a possibility of bodily harm or something like that. Same as it doesn't make sense to ever feel unhappy.

Fear is as real as any other emotion. In fact, it is more "real" because it is one of our basic hardwired neurological systems. We have innate fears that we don't even have to learn, they are coded in our DNA. Snakes and spiders. We have to learn to not fear them.

Agree.

I think we learned to fear such things.
I suspect outdoorsy people aren't particularly frightened by a snake or spider...

Mad, sad, bad, and scared.
But why would you feel those things if they are not positive to your overall well being. I don't understand why people do things they know will not benefit them. I feel humans are the only animals that make decisions that are not in our overall best interest.
Why not be happy all the time. No one else can make that decision for you, it is up to you to be happy.

Do you agree? Discuss
Yes, I don't want to die. Fear is the most primal emotion, the first emotion so to speak. It's instinct, and that's hard, if even possible to overcome.
Although I do think that acknowledgement and understanding of some of the illusions that root back to fear might help people to better themselves in some ways.

Why do anything but feel good?" - You will be missing some part of the expereance... personally, I do not fear. It only makes me sick..
still, I would not deny pain and sorrow... they contrast the eternal bliss... without the other, the first would be meaningless and all that.. not to be too much of a hypocrite, but honestly.. I do not fear, nor hate.. they only bring bad things.. pain and sorrow however, I find quite enjoyable as they really mankfest all the way down.. but generaly? I am abliss.. life or death, What does it matter? I simply do see the reason to bother with it..

I find it extremely difficult to believe that you "do not fear"
If you're walking down the street late at night and a crazy, angry, fat, naked man with a blowtorch and a chainsaw starting running full speed at you, you wouldn't run away?
Less comically, if you were standing on a ledge and you almost slipped, you wouldn't try to regain your balance?

I would try to regain my balance, if jumping was not my intention... as I still probably had an unfinished task in life.. but why da hell would someone run at me with a chqinsaw? I would just step aside so the could get to those people.. if he for some reason was running at me.. I would stare at him with a ... dumfounded.. look untill the idiot killed me or he stopped...
