“A king often saw a white pigeon visiting his garden. It would fly away whenever he tried to approach it. He won its trust after great efforts and brought it to his palace. Soon after everything started going wrong in his life. He never doubted the pigeon for this. In fact he would cry before it and say, "You are the only good thing remaining in my life." How could he doubt someone whose trust he had won with great efforts?”

“There is a knock at the door. She feels a fear because opening the door makes her vulnerable. It could be a god or a devil, She is about to open the door but decides against it. She puts a double lock instead. Fear goes away. She feels relieved. Her mind rationalizes, “Phew! Fear proves that it was devil.” Fear comes from vulnerability of opening the door. It doesn’t tell who is at the door: a god or devil.”
