People would think beyond the fear...not to say that people shouldn't fear anything. The goal should be to transcend fear and have the courage to change/reject whatever is causing the fear, especially the conditioning. We are not dogs. We are supposed to have higher developed minds. Individuals make a choice to align themselves with the collective and, in doing so, condone destruction and oppression, or they can have courage and live life with openness, compassion, integrity and wisdom.

"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own"
--Paulo Coelho, "The Alchemist"

"Know thyself"

"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". So we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
-- Hebrews 13:5,6

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path"
--Morpheus in "The Matrix" (and a Buddhist philosophy)

"It's our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"- Dumbledore to Harry Potter "Chamber of Secrets"
