How Do You Deal With the Fear of Something?

When we fear something, we are like small rabbits trembling under bushes. Fear affects all of us, whether we are big or small, rich or poor, educated or not, we all feel fear deep inside. Today, more than ever, people are being driven into fear. Life’s pressures, uncertainty, and coldness among people all push us to that same vulnerable place.

So, what should we do?

We need to understand that we can survive and thrive solely by rising above our separation and uniting.

Above our problems, hatred, and the instinct to put others down and place ourselves on top, the wisest way to overcome fear is to rise above the inner walls that stand in the way of our positive connection to each other.

We need to look at the person in front of us, whoever they are, as our key to survival. Why? It is because that is exactly what they are. When I discuss uniting, I do not mean endless debates or grand gestures, but to feel the other person a little bit more, to come closer inside, to listen, and to give space for someone else in our heart. Letting ourselves open up in such a way toward others will ultimately save us.

If we will not apply ourselves accordingly in this generation, then we will have to do so in the next. The only question is when, and through how much suffering, will we be willing to postpone what must inevitably come.

Therefore, it is better for us to engage in such unifying motions now. I trust that it is still possible.
