Even If It Kills Us Slowly
Posted in Other Blogs, Quotes, tagged http://antryump.com/, On Being Human, On Fear, Other Blogs, Quotes, Sigmund Freud on May 21, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within. | |

Serve The World
Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged http://365daymiracles.com, Marianne Williamson, On Fear, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes on September 17, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. | |

Apart from how interesting he is to read of, the boogeyman is someone we all know. We’ve all been afraid. Whether of the real person who haunts you or the voice in the dark that murmurs you’re not good enough. | |

Hobgoblins
Posted in Leadership, Politics, Quotes, tagged H. L. Mencken, Hobgoblins, In Defense Of Women, On Civilization, On Fear, On Politics, Political Leadership, Quotes on September 8, 2013| Leave a Comment »
Civilization, in fact, grows more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. Wars are no longer waged by the will of superior men, capable of judging dispassionately and intelligently the causes behind them and the effects flowing out of them. They are now begun by first throwing a mob into a panic; they are ended only when it has spent its ferine fury. | |
― H. L. Mencken | |
