Fear leads to insomnia, which leads to hypomania which evolves into mania, and finally psychosis.
This only refers to irrational fears, not the fear reaction to imminent threat which lead to flight-or-fight response.
Anxiety appears to be both root and symptom of fear, and usually indicates anxiety of an unvoiced fear.
Phobias are when both anxiety and fear form a complex set of behaviors related to an object of fear with anxiety on exposure.
Desensitization of the object of fear and positive rationalization about the anxiety and fear leads to evolution from anxiety and fear to relief through calmness, peace of mind and serenity.
Thus it is possible to transform both anxiety and fear into healthy action i.e. ignoring the stimuli.

The True Warrior / The True Pacifist (poem)
Though a thousand people
may submit to him,
only he who submits to himself
is the true warrior.
By violence do you subjugate,
only to be subjugated by violence;
yet to subjugate the heart,
by peace alone is it stilled.
Anger never makes your love
be known to the beloved,
as much as tears shed,
and grief shared with others.
Yet she who shows her face
without fear, a-trembling,
is bold to look her love
in the eye, to hold his hand,
and to be his beloved.
You who call yourself warrior,
submit to the beloved,
and love all equally as kin,
as the true warrior.
may submit to him,
only he who submits to himself
is the true warrior.
By violence do you subjugate,
only to be subjugated by violence;
yet to subjugate the heart,
by peace alone is it stilled.
Anger never makes your love
be known to the beloved,
as much as tears shed,
and grief shared with others.
Yet she who shows her face
without fear, a-trembling,
is bold to look her love
in the eye, to hold his hand,
and to be his beloved.
You who call yourself warrior,
submit to the beloved,
and love all equally as kin,
as the true warrior.

Hikikomori who act out their violent fantasies may be influenced by a continuum of horror films
One significent factor in social isolation is the amount of time devoted to obsession about a single interest. Usually for males, it may consist of pornography, and for sociopathic predation, it has to be violent pornography. Horror films can be considered soft-corn "porn" since sometimes gratuitous sex and sexualization of gratuitous violence occurs. Thus it is not abnormal for breasts to be exposed in certain horror films. As well, violent pornography is merely hardcore adult horror.
Therefore, the continuum of horror ranges from classical to adult violent i.e. classical to violent pornography.
The viewer may fantasize revenge on his former oppressers, who may have bullied or teased him in childhood. Both horror films and violent pornography may fuel this obsession.
What this indicates is that such viewing of violent films need to be monitored since a fan who is social isolated may mistake fantasy for reality, and try to act out what he sees on the screen.
IMHO video rental places who refuse to monitor their creepier clients' viewing habits are as morally reprehensible as drinking establishments who pickle the gills of their patrons to the point of alcohlism.
As well, hikikomori is not unique to Japan.
The etiology for some serial killers consists of the triad of bedwetting, torture of pets and small animals, and arson. As well, in the case of socially isolated individuals, which is often a given for this class of serial killer, it also includes collecting violent pornography - both movies and anime - and classic horror films.
As well, social isolation and the violent porn, including that in some classical horror films, are symptoms of an underlying personality disorder which has its roots in childhood, possibly due to bullying and teasing in childhood, isolation from one or both parents due to their depression or other psychiatric condition (alcoholism, drug abuse, or personality disorder).
No culture is immune to hikikomori-like symptoms of an underlying personality disorder and its comorbidity with a mood disorder. In certain cultures, a culture of shame implies depression to be inherent. As well, depression may have some types of psychoses present. When depression becomes chronic, bipolar disorder may arise with schizotypal impact on the personality.
However, it does not follow that mental illness will result in acting out of violent fantasies. Psychoses with physical acting out requires some indication of child abuse to be present, whether that is by beatings by a parent or a school mate.
A person with a psychosis will only use violence if violence has been used against it. No one spontaneously harms another person without someone previously harming that person.
Thus, a serial killer "learns" to use violence to meet his perverse needs.
In most cases of violence by socially isolated people, child abuse is a significent factor in the etiology of their personality disorder which always has asocial personality disorder as the predominant disorder. The antisocial personality disorder becomes comorbid when they act hostile (antisocial) towards other people, and some schizotypies are present, but not enough to confirm schizophrenia.
And yes, it is possible to have difficulty communicating, have confused thinking, and some psychotic symptoms without schizophrenia since it is the social isolation that is both symptom and causal agent of these dysfunctions.
So, if you look at the serial murderers of Japan and the recent stabbing incidents, both in March and the beginning of June, one of the factors in the etiology of all the perpetrators is child abuse, be it by parents or even classmate bullying and teasing.
Violence also tends to occur first during the teenaged years.
Therefore, bullying and teasing in school, child abuse and disrespectful behavior of parents towards their children, are all roots of future violence in adolescence and adulthood.

Science Links Religion and Romance
Religious ecstasy and romantic love both derive their hold on the psyche from oxytocin, the neurohormone that is known as the love hormone.
"Religious ecstasy" refers to that feeling of being reborn refered to as "born again". Likewise, true love is the psychic state when the lover feels whole.
Whether born again or made whole, the person experiences a spiritual awakening.
This spiritual awakening feels like being born again to the religious, and becoming whole to the lover.

Nym Nym (poem)
Heaps of rubbish piled high in the sky,
a wind comes along, and the heaps change sizes
but the heaps remain: life's like that, I say.
You do something for someone else, but no surprizes.
Rub another's back, aim to satisfy:
this is the stuff of karma,
everyone's dharma.
What you owe, you work yourself to the bone to pay.
Life is like this, each action is not hit or miss.
Life is like this, everyone may achieve bliss.
Nym nym, everyone has a nym on the Internet
Nym nym, anonymity is the rule, not the exception
Nym nym, yeah. Nym nym, yeah.
Nym nym, nobody is really anonymous but
Nym nym, everyone buys into this deception
Nym nym, yeah. Nym nym, yeah.
Yet there are the misinformed who to their dying day
pretend that their good lot in life is inherited.
From generation to generation they maintain their class
In a manner quite arbitrary and unmerited.
"Your karmic debt you must continually pay,
for yours and your ancestors; just give us no sass!"
This view is not at all karma:
It corrupts the dharma,
Anyone who perverts it this way is an ass!
Life soon falls apart, when man forces karma like this.
Life comes to an end miserably for all without bliss.
Nym nym, everyone has a nym on the Internet
Nym nym, anonymity is the rule, not the exception
Nym nym, yeah. Nym nym, yeah.
Nym nym, nobody is really anonymous but
Nym nym, everyone buys into this deception
Nym nym, yeah. Nym nym, yeah.
Yes, it's true that everyone makes their destiny!
Yes, it's true that no one may sit idly to get their reward!
Yet those who abuse the dharma also suffer karma,
and get their just desserts without fail like an award.
So carefully tread this present life, or misery
is your constant reward as karma.
In living right practise the dharma.
All choices in life, to make we are free.
Life is like this, each action is not hit or miss.
Life is like this, everyone may achieve bliss.
Nym nym, everyone has a nym on the Internet

* The above poem is based on Nim ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nim ), in that karma is a living dynamic not fixed by man yet is neither good nor bad, though right action begets further karma. In Hindu society, the art of following dharma is to not follow it so rigidly that you cause unnecessary suffering to self and, especially, to others. Thus, tradition is not really dharma at all, but the root of current evil both in society and on the Internet.
