Occam was a fool. We should choose the most complex answer.

Fear is a fundamental part of us, but it is not the only part. It can control us if we allow it.

We can complicate things towards infinity, but we cannot simplify then with such ease.

Fear cannot be split from "us". You cannot change that wich you have no basis to change: you cant change your mind because your mind is what you would use to change your mind.

I do not understand what you mean by "be dominated by it".

As our understandement of something grows it becomes simpler in our eyes. As far as I know complex is something that we are not yet capable of understanding.

We act in favor or morality and reason because of fear of what will happen if we dont. If you are talking subjectively then I must comment there is no certain point to draw the line of whenever we are dominated by fear or not.

I don't act morally because of fear. I have been kind and polite to people, even if they pose no threat to me, and when there has been no forseeable benefit to myself. We do good because it is good. It is self justifying.

You are kind and polite even to people that are no threat and winhout forseeable benefit because you are afraid of hurting then. Caring for other people beside yourself doesnt means fear is not involved at some level.

... or even out of the fear of being alone; the need for others and the loss that represents.

Ugh... not sure I like that

You are kind and polite even to people that are no threat and winhout forseeable benefit because you are afraid of hurting then. Caring for other people beside yourself doesnt means fear is not involved at some level.

That is simply redefining the term afraid to mean somthing other than fear. I might for instance say 'I am afraid to say that...' but only mean it as a figure of speech. If you want to call all human motivation fear, that does not change what human motivation means, it changes what fear means.
