Fear is one of the factors of our life, like pleasure. Perhaps fear is a greater factor than pleasure. Fear of not having pleasure. So, my friend says, 'Can we go into this question of fear? And also in exploring,' he says, 'can it ever end or must fear everlastingly be the burden of humanity?' So together my friend, we are going to find out, not the speaker is going to instruct, and you follow, which becomes rather childish and immature, but rather, together, you and the speaker go into this question of fear.
