My kids aren't going to have it easy. Dwindling resources suggest that things will be rougher for them than recent generations, and I want to ensure that they have a happy childhood - yet are able to tackle tomorrow.
In order to prepare them for these harsh eventualities, I started training them to recite the Litany Against Fear. But that didn't seem to really teach them anything concrete about fear itself, and just reminded me of fighting Sting on a moving platform.
Once it was clear that wouldn't work, I started waking them up in the middle of the night by blasting Fear Factory. Any songs with messages about fear, such as "Fear Campaign", were put into higher rotation.
This produced the desired results, but left the family dog twitchy. Despite naming the dog after a brave canine from Assassin's Apprentice, he's a bit of a wuss. He's lost in a fight against a stink bug, so loud industrial metal was right out.
Then we found this book. Now they're eating sushi like noble warriors of old, rocking it like the cover of a Manowar album.

Fear is suffering, intimidate to obey,
Fear is control, suffering is hell
