I was watching this video (which I highly recommend):

He mentions fear and desire, and what is means to be free from them.
It made me think - if you hold onto a desire, it naturally causes fear. Fear that you will not get what you desire, or that it will not be satisfying when you do get it.
If you hold onto fear, then it naturally causes desire - desire to be rid of or avoid whatever it is you fear.
I have heard much talk about releasing desires, detachment from desire, suffering being caused by desire, and I am sure may men here have spent time contemplating their desires and their attachments to them.
I have heard less about releasing fears, detachment from fear, suffering being caused by fear, and it might prove fertile ground to examine fears that you have or hold onto.
