Fear Can Make You Kind

I know you're afraid, but being afraid is all right. If you're very wise and very strong, fear doesn't have to make you cruel or cowardly. Fear can make you kind.

Clara Oswald from Doctor Who "Listen"


 
There is no doubt that fear can bring out the worst in people. Back a beast into a corner and that animal will fight for its life, which is a very natural survival instinct. However, the individual who meets the object of their fear with a kind smile is the person who has overcome their fear and proved to be the better person. Clara is a person who takes her fear and uses it to help others. I think it is perfect that Clara is the one who teaches the Doctor the lesson that allows him to save countless lives.
