Why is fear so strong? Why is it that the thin barrier of
fear can keep us from peace? Fear of our neighbor limits the number of friends
we could have. Fear of change and difference keeps us from foreign allies, and
when we are afraid to trust, we never know love. The fear of communication
ruins relationships. The fear of the unknown keeps us from discovering. The
fear of people leads to a life of solitude. How do we overcome our fear? We
must learn to open our eyes as we cross our tight ropes of life. We must face
the monstery shadows we see so we can turn on the light and see all it really
was, was a coat hanger or some other silly nothing. Our fear often keeps us
from something better. ~Olivia Paxton
