We can change the fear that motivates us

Question from the Internet:

“In a world filled with worry and fear, if all fear and barriers were taken away, what would you do?”

We can’t live without fear and worry. If there was no fear of anything or worry about something, we would keep doing crazy and dangerous things that would finish us off in a short time.

This is how we are born; this is how our basic software works; we need positive aspiration and negative motivation at the same time to keep on the “right path”.

Now, this does not mean that we have to continue with our scary and fearmongering world, where we are constantly scared by different events and especially by politicians and their “experts” like stupid children to subjugate ourselves and accept everything they want to do with us.

We need to develop a different kind of fear and worry.

When we love someone, we automatically develop fear and constant worry for the loved one. If we developed a unique, mutual love between human beings — where love means selfless, unconditional service to each other and the whole system without any egocentric and subjective bias — then we would be constantly fearful and concerned about doing everything possible for each other and for the whole Natural system that gives us life and nurtures us.

This would lead to a completely different kind of living experience instead of the present “self-loving” existence when we fear and worry only for ourselves and for our own possessions and success.
