Too much fear, held too long, makes us blind
and easy to anger.
A little fear may save our life, in an emergency.
This is how fear is designed.
But the challenge of modern life is the
containment of fear, so it does no harm.
Fear that is held in ourselves for too long,
beyond the time for appropriate use, can
hurt us from the inside out by distorting our
thoughts and feelings, by giving forth actions
of harm to ourselves and others for no
productive reason.
Fear, held too long, can destroy us and make
life wrong.
