1) the feeling of fear is one of our primal, natural responses to a threat. It is not something that is easily controlled and it's easy to incite a fear reaction in most human beings.
2) once the 'fear' switch is turned on, our responses are rash, and without conscious thought. This is by brilliant design - when there is a real threat, there is only time for automatic reaction, not thought.
To my point: this years election seens to be a division of those who have been successfully threatened and are operating from a base of fear (and are starting to panic and threaten even more), and those that are still conscious (and have a propensity for hope).
We are quickly becoming a short sighted, reactive, fear filled society,which will get us nowhere but angry and filled with hate. My mantra until Nov 4th: Conscious, critical contemplation is crucial. Open your eyes and see fear for what it is. Open your heart and hear the cries of the world. Open your mind and seek solutions. Wake up and participate before our utopic country takes a nose dive into a term governed by fear.
