Fear makes us blind. We cannot see.
We can't discriminate black from white,
and though the facts stare in our face,
we don't choose what is right.
Fear is our biggest enemy. It blinds us. It destroys our ability to discriminate. We perceive an imaginary fear to be a danger and then we panic. Fear creates hysteria and phobia – an intense irrational fear that grips us as the facts are camouflaged by fear. Then, it creates worry, stress, anxiety and we sink further into misery and suffering. Fear hides the facts and projects an illusory danger. It creates a myth and we drown in it. The moment we overcome fear, we can differentiate black from white. We can discriminate facts and choose what is right. Those who live with fear can't see the truth. Fear makes them so blind that they make choices and decisions that are wrong. Fear can destroy us.
