Becoming Free of Fear and Probably Something Else Too

People are, first and foremost, their visual fields. In addition to that, they speak with their mouths, move their bodies and make facial expressions. They are not their faces. And body sensations that arise in you, such as fear, are just body sensations. You don’t need to care about them and they can fade in time. In reality, there is only empty space between you and other people, but your mind can semiautomatically write a horror story about it. In the worst-case scenario, you will need to fight, but there’s never any need for fear. (You can come to terms with the possible defeat — it’s probably about right and wrong decisions — beforehand: reality simply allows things like that to happen.)

Can you give advice like this when there are moral and amoral (in short: they don’t feel the need to act right and don’t see unfair¹ suffering as terrible even when reminded.) people in the audience?
