No Fear

Hypothetical question: How would we be right now this minute if we had no fear? What would we do, how would we act?

We would fairly quickly become exceedingly arrogant and selfish. Fear is a check on those behaviors, I think. Paradoxically, fear is also a fuel for those behaviors. Then again, perhaps I don't really know? :-)

Might "artisan" be a now obsolete term for any service person -- plumber, carpenter, painter, etc.?
