“It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid to love and to be loved because love tends to strip bare all emotional barricades. Without love, strength and independence are prone to losing every bit of their worth; they become nothing more than a fearful, intimidated, empty tent lost somewhere in the desert of self.” MaySelfFactsLostFearBitsEmotionalPrideEqualLosingWeaknessEmptyOppositesIndependenceDesertSelfishnessMaskCowardFearfulIntimidatedWithout LoveCowardlyTentsPersonificationBarricadesPolar OppositesAfraid To LoveLove Strength Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
