Story about fear: How can a coward overcome cowardice?

There once was a village near the biggest city in the country that was very special. What was so special about this village was that every villager there was an early adopter of technology and the village was even more advanced than the big city near it. The village had everything automated, robotized, optimized, and every other “ized” there is. The people in the village had one thing in common and that was their affinity for new technology and the courage to implement new things all the time. They also were the happiest in the whole nation, and even though they were “geeks” about the technology they were a very tight-knit community that knew and helped each other with everything. But there was an outlier. A man that everyone called the “village coward”. It may seem cruel but no matter how much anyone tried to help this young man he was always afraid of everything and anyone he didn’t know well. The villagers helped the young man with different therapies and techniques, but they always failed. Even the village spiritual guru couldn’t help him when the villagers brought the “village coward”. Then one day the young man had enough and asked the village spiritual guru for help himself, “I want to overcome cowardice and I am willing to do anything you ask of me. This is not like the last time I was forced to see you I promise.”
