Fear is a menace
that lurks in the path of life,
always felt and present in the hearts and minds of timid souls.
It's the tool of tyranny.
Born of ignorance
and nursed upon misguided thoughts,
fear has darkened more hopes,
stifled more ambitions,
prevented more accomplishments
than history can record.
Fear assumes a multiplicity of disguises.
It masquerades as caution,
it is sometimes known as conservatism,
but whatever the appelation,
it is still fear- the obstacle of achievement.
Of itsef, fear has no power
except that which the human mind thrusts upon it;
and that power vanishes completely
when the light of understanding
reveals the facts as they really are
for
fear is NOTHING.
It was a writing taken from a friend, who's friend gave it to him, and a friend gave to him. According the web, there are a couple of variations out there. It's awesome in any one of those variations. I have no idea who the author is, other than to say, it is not me!
