ON FEAR
Share
Fear is not a warning.
It is a threshold.
It appears whenever capacity is about to expand.
Fear does not signal danger by default.
It signals transition.
Fear becomes destructive only when it is obeyed.
Obedience teaches fear that it governs direction.
Repeated obedience installs fear as authority.
Over time, fear no longer asks.
It decides.
Fear does not need to be eliminated.
It needs to be outranked.
Authority over fear is established through action taken in its presence.
Each act of compliance to intention weakens fear’s influence.
Fear remains—but it no longer commands.
Avoidance preserves comfort.
It also preserves limitation.
What is avoided remains untested.
What remains untested grows exaggerated.
Fear expands in isolation.
It contracts under pressure.
Fear is not the enemy.
Submission is.
