An Exercise in Imagination
We are more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from
imagination than from reality.
We have been schooled to regard fear as our enemy, but the
truth is that it is our friend.
Fear can keep us alive when we should be dead, as in the case of a
mother who rescues her child from a burning building.
Fear can also give us the strength to rise above ourselves and do
things that seem impossible, as in the case of a soldier who lays down his life
for his country.
Fear can make us more compassionate, as in the case of parents who
put their child's needs ahead of their own.
