Fear

Fear
holds me back
from existing
in the present

Fear...
deadly ammo
of the ego

Armor-piercing
bullets
of anxiety and doubt

The essence of fear
is a lack of love

Isolation,
alienation,
and discrimination

All by-products
of fear

Their common themes:
loneliness
separation

To defeat fear,
one must
simply love

Fear,
the root
of all negative emotions,
can be stopped.

Open oneself
to love

Give...
with no expectations
of receiving

Embrace uncertainty
as a gift

Never judge
a person or event
as good or bad

Rather,
accept every moment
as it comes

Give thanks...
for everything

and everyone.

Without fear,
the ego has lost.

Without fear,
the soul is free.
