Fear comes from the image in ur head

Does it make sense to say that there is no such thing as real fear?

If we were to think logically about it, and analyse fear, to some extent, you will find out that there is no real fear.

Let's say you fear failing your exam. But why do you fear the failure. What will really happen to you should you fail? Will you die? No! So what is there to fear? You might say that you fear disappointing yourself and your parents. But while they might be upset with you, nothing will really happen to you, so what's with the fear. (Yes, you might get canned, but that is really not life threatening)

Very often, if we apply our rational and logical mind to our thoughts and emotions, we will reach the conclusion that fear is in our mind. We make certain assumptions, or have certain stereotypes, or prejudices, that brings about fear. If death is certain, and most phenomenon/happening around us does not lead to death, what is the need or use for fear?

We create an image of fear in our mind, and blow it out of proportion. Our mind leads us, and we need to control our mind, our thoughts. There is no such thing as fear, but the mind that creates it...
