Fear is the center of every human impulse. Don't bother trying to figure it out in massive detail.

Granted. In fact, I said just above this comment:
I said just above you're comment "I think defining the cause if fear would be an incredibly complex undertaking".
But that's not really what this post is about.
well I never meant to imply all fear.
well, it can be argued that some phobias are result of a emotional detachment applied to a certain situation.
when it comes to emotional attachments/detachments, their isn't much logic involved.

interesting.
I see fear as a side effect of attachment, for example, you fear death because you are attached to your body as you, you fear breaking the law because you become attached to a law as a "moral code", people create illusions of fear through the media because they become attached to the media's "view" and they eat the stories up.
I would agree that fear is a major force of the human psyche, but I also believe it cam be argued that fear is created by attachment.

I agree that some fear is created by attachment. For instance, fear of losing a loved one, fear of bankruptcy, fear of exposure etc.
But I do not think all fears can be looked at this way. Some phobias for instance, are completely irrational and unrelated to attachment.
I think defining the cause of fear would be an incredibly complex undertaking.
