The Opposite of Fear.

I'm sure that you've heard it before: "The opposite of fear is love".

NO it isn't, because the opposite of love is hate. The opposite of fear is fearless, or a lacking of care -- INDIFFERENCE. Fear is synonymous with care as indifference is synonymous with 'don't care'.

Don't fall for the trap.

I posit that your conclusion is wayward. Fear is the opposite of love and also a result of flawed love. 1 John 4:18 " There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

Speak normal English; nobody is impressed.

You're equating the qualities of fear as an impossibility to exist within love -- this is not the same as it being the opposite, which it is often claimed.

If fear can not exist within perfect love, it is logical to conclude that it is in opposition to.

No, that is not a logical conclusion, that is a bastardization of terms. By your 'logic', fire is the opposite of water because it can't exist within it.
