“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
“What happens with fear is that probability doesn't matter very much. That is, once I have raised the possibility that something terrible can happen to your child, even though the possibility is remote, you may find it very difficult to think of anything else. Emotion becomes dominant.” ThinkingMayChildrenMatterHappensFearDifficultEmotionPossibilityTerribleOur ChildrenRaisedYour ChildrenDominantProbability Author:Daniel Kahneman
“The idea that a good God would send people to a burning hell is utterly damnable to me. I don't want to have anything to do with such a God. But while I cannot conceive of such a God, I do recognize the existence of a great universal power - a power which we cannot even begin to comprehend and might as well not attempt to. It may be a conscious mind, or it may not. I don't know. As a scientist I should like to know, but as a man, I am not so vitally concerned.” PeopleKnowsMenWantShouldMindWellsMayIdeasMightFearExistenceHellAtheismConsciousConcernedScientistUniversalRageBurningGood GodConscious Mind Author:Luther Burbank
