Shark! Swim for your lives! NO, this isn't a picture of some cold killer from the deep. It's a friendly warm-blooded dolphin, an animal people pay to swim with, a mammal some experts believe to be as intelligent as a chimpanzee.
Many of us go through life fearing that every shadow is a shark waiting to attack us and our loved ones. While there are real dangers in the world, fear , especially generalized unreasoning fear, causes far greater harm to humanity than all the sharks in the ocean, the financial underworld, and the dark alleys put together.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
