"The only thing to fear is fear itself"

Lets start simple.

So almost everyone knows the phrase that is quoted in the title, but what does it even mean? I'm gonna think about this in a literal way, because that's how I always do.

So, if you should only fear fear, you should be afraid of fear right? But then, you have fear again... so you should be afraid of being afraid of fear, but then you have more fear... don't you? So you should be afraid of being afraid of being afraid of fear...

This is a circle.......

Kinda messed up don't ya think?
