This thought had me pause for quite a while… considering all the violence in the world, and in personal lives… terrorism, indiscriminate shootings, rape and multiple forms of abuse and slavery.
Who hasn’t sung an anthem — of hope, and love, and peace.

Such. Is the power of fear.
And not just fear. But fear unspoken. Fear unacknowledged.
Perhaps the best thing we can do for ourselves — as a civilisation — is to simply admit to one another — that we’re fearful.
