turn on your television in any country and watch fear. just in the commercials. everything, EVERYTHING, is sold to you based on fear. fear of losing something you have or fear of not getting something you want.
Look at gun sales and the reasons people buy them. Trump is tapping into fear in his speeches. 30 days reserve of food is another sign of fear. If things are put right in 30 days, you'll need a lot more than that. Of course, I live in a country that has a decent tax rate so we have the Public Resources to cater for disasters.

Fear of losing something. Like my life and relying on a Health Service I paid into and is now free at the point of delivery?

Fear of not getting something I want. I don't even understand that.

On CZ TV, sex sells more than fear. Unless it's girls fear of a red spot showing on her white jeans. LOL

Yes, fear is natural. I'm discussing the degrees of fear.
