Fear-

We let it run our lives. Fear of loneliness, fear of commitment, fear of abandonment, fear of acceptance, fear of change, fear of stagnancy, fear of rebelliousness, fear of complacency. As long as we live, we will have fears, and as long as we have fears, we will never be free. To overcome fear, one must accept its existence as an inevitability, and come to terms with it. If one can confront one's fears, then one has an opportunity to learn from them, and therefore improve oneself. When a man is coddled and unpressured, he becomes lazy. When he is tortured, pressed beyond belief, he has an opprtunity to learn.
