"Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends"  ~Shirley Maclaine


I like this quote because I feel it gets to the core of the problems of the world.  We fear what is unknown, so in turn instead of acknowledging that fear we feel, we hate instead.  Why, it is easier to admit to hate than it is to fear.  Recognizing your fear implies weakness.  We fear that we may be wrong.  We just need to learn to trust that we all face the same challenges.  That there are not really any differences when you get down to what we all consider is important.  I am going to finish with a quotation from my hero that supports the above quotation:  "All You Need is Love" ~ John Lennon.
