What is fear?
Fear is ugly. Fear is crippling. Fear breads anxiety and depression. Fear drives hate. It ruins love and tears apart families. Fear broods and bubbles deeply inside. Fear is that annoying yet terrifying buzz in the back of your mind – like a wasp buzzes near your ear in summer. Fear is banning the Confederate flag. Fear is also hating the flag that flies for equal love. Fear is not allowing understanding for those who may look, act, speak, believe differently from you. Fear is money. Fear is war. Fear is the media. Fear is what drives the world.
But I have a simple question. Does fear, in fact, have a silver lining? Can something good come from fear?
Do you know what I think? I think that absolutely NOTHING good can come directly from fear BUT I’ve also been considering something. What if something good can be born from fear to push fear away? What if people fear so much that the fear is beginning to almost look fake? What if there’s a generation that realizes that fear isn’t the right way? That marriage can be gay – or straight, or bi, or transexual? That the Confederate flag isn’t what’s wrong with the world, it’s the people who fly them? That the media is LYING? That our families need nurturing? That love and freedom shouldn’t come at a cost? That religion serves one central purpose? What if?
I think there’s a generation rising. Watch and see.
