Is fear of the lord a requirement?
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 NIV

Isn't fear what the DS uses to control us?
It's not so much of a "terror" form of fear, but more on the side of reverence in God's immense power. Some of the meaning can be lost in translation from Hebrew to English.
10 The Yirat Hashem is the beginning of chochmah, and the da’as Kedoshim (knowledge of the Holy One) is binah (understanding).
Yirat = awesome (1), extremely* (1), fear (35), fearing (1), reverence (5)
So: The Awsome HaShem is the beginning of wisdom...
