Fear is the greatest common motivator.
Its only antidote is courage.
We have been bombarded with messages of fear from all those seeking control.
Those seeking control range from extreme dogma, unethical government, criminals, unethical marketers and their intentional or unintentional messengers.
None of them offer compelling values, vision or goals.
They flog fear instead.
Extreme beliefs, selfish interests, power addiction and a desire to control the uncontrollable – our loving human spirit - are waging war on us all.
We need to see that the perpetrators and their messengers are merely suffering from fear, habits and ignorance.
We are too.
The remedy for all of us, even the perpetrators and their messengers, is courage, flexible practice and learning.
All this is happening to teach us this truth.
Let’s be our best now and persevere.
