Which Reminds Me

Yes, this word fearless is one that is often used in hyperbolic praise of heroic deeds, even if not exactly accurate. The overcoming of fear, not so much a lack of fear, is the idea in mind. A certain healthy dose of fear is a good thing to have. I fear touching a hot stove, which I did as a small child and the result was blistering, so I learned the hard way not to do that. I fear this notion of standing in front of an onslaught of incoming traffic, knowing that the certain result would be myself as roadkill. There is really nothing wrong with having a healthy dose of fear, as I would  say.
