Yes dear Zoe;
You have got it right again, fear is one of the limiting factor in life...
While a healthy fear is necessary at times, especially with young children and those who lack the benefit of the necessary knowledge; it can and will be used against you!
The misuse of the fear factor is a major ploy by many in this age of mass data and instant information... It is used by politicians, marketing, sales, religions, military operations, Governments, (the Weather or Ad Channel) as well as most of the Mass Media...
In recent years I find that the Internet seems one of the few avenues of truth left to those who really seek it! Yes I realize that there is much crap and lies on line also... This is where common sense, reason, deduction and the spirit of discernment come in handy...
I feel that many but not all, of the blogs on CZ tend to be written by people who seek the truth... So keep up the good work!
See Ya, Kermit
