Fear, worry, and doubt, huh?  If its due to something unknown, I try to learn 
about that thing.  If its due to some problem, I solve the problem if its
within my capability (I'm afraid or I worry that my program will crash, so
I thrash it around 'till I can't find any more bugs).  If its something I
can't solve myself, I might join with others to help solve it (I'm afraid 
the arms race will lead to the total destruction of the human race, so I
refuse to work for a bomb manufacturer, I vote for candidates that pledge
to work for disarmerment, etc.).  I do what I can to take direct and 
indirect action against these problem, whether the problem appears to be 
within me or in the global political arena.  And as a result I have very 
few fears, doubts, and worries.  I think some of these are healthy, and
promote survival.  I believe leaving these in the hands of a supernatural
entity is akin to ignoring them and is very likely to give one a very false
sense of security.
