Fear and I were old buddies, despite my best efforts to the contrary.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fear has been my biggest friend. Fear of the unknown. Whenever I've been afraid, I've been very self-protective.
I think if you talk to my colleagues, I was less than a fearsome individual.
From nine years old, I lived with fear. I saw our neighbours disappearing. I was scared that I would come home from school and my parents would not be there.
The first several years of my life were used to upload incredible amounts of fear, and I just became afraid of everything. I was afraid of my parents, afraid of my classmates, afraid of the streets of Washington, D.C. I would flinch at every gesture.
They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.
When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.
Fear was absolutely necessary. Without it, I would have been scared to death.
There's no point living at my age with many ingrained great fears.
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
