The greatest battle the world faces is that between fear (which breeds selfishness) and progress. It is fear which holds back modernity. It is fear that breeds division. And it is fear which allows people to justify callousness.
Fear causes the stem cell research ban. Fear allows global warming to continue its course. Fear holds back the technologies of the future (you know, the ones we were supposed to have already). Let go your fear and face the world that is much bigger than you.
Fear is the cause of LGBT persecution. Fear warms the fires of racism and sexism. Fear causes the "liberal/conservative" divide. Let go your fear and accept the people which God created.
Fear is what allows us to debate the merits of torture. Fear will not extend Habeaus Corpus to all peoples. Fear allows one to believe his persecutions are just. Let go your fear and realize your conscious self.
Fear can only be conquered through the realization that your self is not that important. It is the power of you have been given to bring about change that is important. And it is up to you wether you will allow fear to control that destiny, or progress.
