I agree that living in fear of all 0f your problems will likely sap from the joys of life, living completely without fear will do the same. Fear causes the body to produce adrenaline, which stimulates body and mind in an excited state. Without any form of fear (mild or severe) life would seem uninteresting and unexciting. Fear is the foundation for the 'fight or flight' response. Even with fear, you can still face your problems (fight) it just takes more effort and courage to do so.
In summary: Amir is afraid of his own fate, and living life in fear causes all sorts of problems, so fear is a necessary difficulty to overcome.

Although I agree with what you say about facebook and other social networking sites destroying 'physical' relationships, one could say social networking is replacing physical relationships. However why is social networking NOT real? The people you communicate are real, so are the emotions displayed, as are your's when you read or hear something. Sure, some senses are missing, like smell, taste, etc. However, this only makes the 'facebook' reality somewhat less real, but as technology improves someday perhaps they will be equal realities, with the exception that in the internet reality you could be ANYTHING you want, and would be able to converse with ANYONE with the same benefits, emotions, and even chemistry as in the physical world.
In summary: Facebook and other social networking sites are depleting the values of conversation and are sapping true "socialness" from society
