Does fear help us?
You’re just saying that because you’re scared.
We’re told to face our fears; they’re your enemy.
If I do it out of fear, does it mean any less than if I did it out of, say, honesty:
If you knew I say I love you every today
because I’m afraid you won’t be here tomorrow,
does it mean less to you?
Would you rather I say nothing?
Our fears show our values: I’m afraid to tell you because I value my self. I tell you anyway because I value yours more.
How bad are they, really?
