My beliefs about a culture of fear and passivity have increased about 10-fold since the events in this comic, sad to say. My goal is to conquer my personal fears and phobias both rational and irrational. A highly ambitious goal for a human, I know, particularly one with anxiety disorders. But doing so would be for the better. There's too many people, from abusive personalities one might interact with to media, government, and the like that are depending on fear to control us.
You got it, Jenny; they know fear is the best way to control most people. I recently wrote a blog post called "Fear and manipulation, perfect together." I don't know if I'll ever conquer all my fears, but I have learned the importance of examining them very carefully.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, I agree it's important to examine and try to face fear as best we can. Would love to read your blog post on the subject, did it go up before I discovered your blog?
