How fear can blind us. · How fear can starve us. · Wrapping its grip slowly around our consciousness. · It holds steadily so as not to alert its existence. · The initial impact unnoticeable. · The long-term implications are like a virus. · How this virus can stop the world from being seen. · And distort how we see the world. · Yet, this veil doesn’t prevent visibility. · It deceives us of its presence. · Its tight clasp constructs a semi-permanent delusion. · The reversible nature not known until it’s known. · How can we face something that we don’t know exists? · How can we free ourselves from its grip? · Sometimes, self-awareness comes from a void. · Someone or something shines a light on what is missing. · How fear can blind us. · How fear can starve us. · But how quickly fear can turn to hope.
