In our immature self, we are fearful, and we project those fears onto others. We wish we could live with no fear. You can even buy a hat that says No Fear , and you can listen to athletes who puff up their chests and espouse this doctrine of living with no fear of anything or anyone. I have no fear at all. Scott Peck suggests we might have a problem here.
Most people think courage is the absence of fear.
Most psychopathic killers have no fear at all, or much of a conscience. When you do that you will find that overcoming that fear will not only make you stronger but will be a big step forward toward maturity. It means that we will have choices and we will make choices, and we will have to take the responsibility for the choices we make. When I was a child I had no choice. I did not choose my family, my time in history, my,sex, my sexual orientation, my social status, nation, religion, or even the color of my eyes.
