I've realized something of late: of all the fears that we experience in our daily lives and throughout our journey here on Earth, there's really only one. All other fears distill down to it and it alone:
The fear of the unknown.
For me, that's a helpful realization. Especially when I couple it with my personal philosophy that says things have a tendency to work themselves out. Sort of lets me approach my fears from the standpoint that they probably aren't as bad as I think.
I thought I had more to say about this but there's really not much more to it :) What else is there to say?

Ah, the operative words being 'the fear of' the unknown... I would agree that fear of the unknown is pretty much THE number one flavor of fear, but I'm with FDR on this one. There's nothing to fear but fear itself!! And the boogeyman, of course. Everyone's scared of the boogeyman.
right, but isn't fear of fear itself sort of fear of the unknown too? It's all encompassing!! :)
