Fear breeds sadness

Fear creates more sadness than heartbreak ever will.

Fear keeps us anchored in a moment that has long since passed.

Fear convinces us that we need to be protected from what we previously experienced, while distracting us from the wisdom and strength that we gained from that experience.

Fear prompts us to look for signs and evidence that what we fear may once again be approaching, and distracts us from the signs and evidence that what we hope for is within reach.

Like everything that destroys, fear requires little effort because it is a self-sustaining cycle.

Hope, on the feet hand, requires courage.

Hope demands that we reconnect with who we are before that last bitter encounter.

Hope is not for the meek. When we succumb to fear, the meek prevail and life loses its sweetness.
