The trail of life is the act of living. If you run from your own fears then you run from the act of living. No man will win a fight if they can not face their fears.

2. People fight because they are afraid
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 08:50 AM by soleft
Fighting is an act of aggression propelled by the survival instinct. It's a defense mechanism.

That's why it's vitally important that people get a grip on their fear. We must know when to fight and what's worth fighting for. To overcome our fears and understand when there's danger present.

There's nothing wrong with feeling fear and having it be the basis for attack, whether the fight takes the form of physical mental or spiritual action.

The problems stems from when people are afraid of everything and lash out at everything and everyone. That's where our country is right now.

Sometimes it actually takes more courage not to fight. To see that perceived slings and arrows will not take you down, and stand in the face of what you've always believed will kill you confident that you are safe in the midst of the storm.

3. We’re losing SS, freedom of speech, Roe, right to sue or file bankruptcy


And our kids and maybe some of US are about to be cannon fodder. What’ll be left to fear? We already lost everything with this last election/mandate.(thanks Kerry)

Like Janis said freedom is another word for nothin left to lose.
