We mostly feel fearful because we feel powerless. We feel powerless, I contend, because of a style of thinking that splits information in two poles that makes us lose all the operative information we need to solve the problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our world is utterly saturated with fear. We fear being attacked by religious extremists, both foreign and domestic. We fear the loss of political rights, a loss of privacy, or a loss of freedom. We fear being injured, robbed or attacked, being judged by others, or neglected, or left unloved.
I feel like the majority of the fear that I had or that we have we hold from other people. They're like people that we trust; they're their fears. All of a sudden we think that they're our fears.
What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.
Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear.
Excessive fear is always powerless.
It's when we become afraid of everything and worried about everything that you are never going to reach your highest potential.
Fear is the enemy. I distrust it. Any feeling or decision I make that might be motivated by fear I quickly reassess.
We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them.
What's the point of being negative or fearful? We can't control it.
