Money might have been the root of all kinds of evil, but today, "phobia" is, and sometimes the needless phobia-mongering therein. When people are obsessively fearful, they will do anything; the good, the bad and the desperate, just to keep safe, and to defend, guard or prevent harm from coming to them and theirs.
So, you see how the consequences of fear can be reckless as well as overly reckful? Let me rephrase that - fear doesn't always make a man weak, it can make a man fight a dreaded beast bare hands, even at the cost of his own life. In fact, it happened in Kenya in '07. This guy killed an attacking lion just like that, even though he later got killed by hyenas.
In my opinion, all of today's irrational distrust of others, the use of amulets and jujus to protect oneself against enemies that do not exist, and people causing others to become alarmed without cause are all products of fear and perhaps faithlessness. So, we do away with it and its mongering, humankind will more than likely live cordially ever after.
