There is a type of fear that causes paralysis and emotional hysteria. That’s the type that Rabbi Arush saw while traveling. It is a fear that is completely unfocused on what needs to be done.
The other type of fear causes the person to wake up to how he got in such a difficulty, and then make salutary changes in himself.
As Rabbi Arush said,
Hashem is making us scared in order to make us do teshuva. All these sirens, everything that is going on, all of it is to scare us and get us to repent and change our ways.
Rabbi Arush wants the second type of fear. That fear is constructive, positive, growth-producing.

You say don’t be afraid then you bless us to be scared. Which one is it?
