Fear is what the politicians sell us ("I'm -tough on crime- vote for me, they're stealing your identities!").
Fear is what the journalists sell us ("They're stealing identities, experts say! Find out first and subscribe!").
Fear is what the military sells us ("Those foreign bastards are selling your stolen identity Fund us to stop them!").
Fear is what the companies sell us ("We can protect you against stolen identities!").
Is it any wonder why many, or even most, humans act out of fear?
Is it any wonder why The Bible states (some variation of) 'Fear not' 365 times?
A humans core is a mess of fears. There's the balled-up repressed self fears that are wrapped up in family fears and those are slathered in societal norm fears which are then bound by punitive fears, boundary crossing and overstepping fears, and all of this is coated in a hardened and solidified experiential fear shell.
Each layer of fear builds upon the next. A foundation. A fortress of fear.
Why do humans walk? We saw, we wanted, we extended, and we fell. Fear of falling. Why did we crawl? Fear of being left behind.
Humans ARE fear. But we're fear that's brightly painted and covered over with spackle. Look between the spackle-cracks, and you'll still see that naked fear hiding. Waiting.
BOO!
