We know pain is a protective mechanism purposefully engineered into biological creatures. And we further know that when the ability to feel pain is removed via nerve damage or some other compromise, that the risk of damaging the physical body grievously goes up almost exponentially. One never appreciates pain more, than when they can’t feel it. Fear is a similar protective mechanism that is not just “biological” but spiritual as well. Has Creator ever experimented with creating “fearless” beings, and what was the result?

This in fact has not been done because it would be a state of diminishment, a state of incompletion in the sense that everything in existence has an opposite. Any state of being, even at an extreme, can only be fully comprehended and appreciated through awareness of and ideally experience with its polar opposite to draw the full meaning of what it represents. To live a life in the absence of fear is unnatural and would rob the living beings from a true appreciation of what they are taking on and the challenges it represents. There is something to be said for conquering fear—that is a recognition it is telling you something quite meaningful. When you stand strong, ignore your fear, and prevail in a contest of some sort to carry out your duty to oppose evil in some way, or simply serve as a stronger form of assistance to someone more fragile and vulnerable in the moment and risk the self to some degree, that is an act of honor and something to be applauded. If fear were absent, while the risks might be real still, what do the risks truly represent if it is an effortless act because it is done with no stress, no real concern about consequences? Acts of bravery would have no meaning and the end result would be a profound lessening of the meaning of life, especially in the physical environment where the risks are quite real and often considerable.
