A common response from those wanting to help the fearful is to try and coach them into “getting a backbone.” There is also the attempt to try and use shame to inspire the fearful to “suck it up” and engage. What is Creator’s outlook on these attempts to inspire the fearful to face and conquer their fear?

We would refer to the prior example in answering this question as well. What is important here is "Who is making the decisions and what are the inner motivations governing the chosen strategy in attempting to help the fearful?" If a leader wants to rally their followers to overcome fear but only has power to use as a tool, all they can argue with is imposing the threat of a greater fear for the lesser fear of the moment in their subjects. While that might be motivating for some, it is more likely to be a temporary benefit because people can only take so much punishment emotionally and may well break down at some point along the way. People will even give up and accept death and seek it actively in some circumstances rather than live in fear, and there is wisdom in this as well. In the Nazi death camps, slave laborers forced to throw bodies, some of whom were just injured or dying, into the flames to incinerate them, chose themselves to jump into the fire rather than continue to persecute others. While some might depict that as a cowardly escape from service to the self in maintaining life even with only the faintest of hope of a better circumstance being possible, we see that choice as holding greater honor because it, in effect, ends the personal suffering, the damage, and wounds to the self and one’s soul forced into aiding and abetting acts of depravity, as well as the karmic consequences from injuring others in the course of that dark role forced on the individual through threats of bodily harm. So we see, using logic and reason comparing the lesser of evils in one’s dilemma to the greater of evils in the expectations this will somehow make a person feel better if there is someone worse off than themselves, they are largely missing the point. Suffering is suffering, and what is happening to another has little relevance in the moment to the sufferer. What is needed is a healing solution. There needs to be love brought to bear and in abundance, to salve the wounds and restore inner security and strength, and the possibility of renewing respect for the self and to see one’s future in a better light. That raising up will only come through acts of loving kindness, not through an offering of power and control in some way or another. To attempt to talk someone out of suffering is, in its way, an act of arrogance that shows off one’s superior status, and that will automatically create a distance, a gulf between the sufferer and the would-be helper, and that in and of itself will prevent a meeting of the minds when what is needed is a union of souls through the sharing of love.
