Loved or Feared?

Seriously, not with relationships, but with everyday life. If you had it your way, which would you prefer. Think about all the faces you encounter, the news, the WORLD!

I would prefer not to be noticed to be either.

Give me a ship to outrace the winds,
Not of earth and air, but space itself.

E. Barrette


Well it works for me.

You don't think this world needs more fear? With fear, people might put others before them. With love, they may love themselves too much to care about the rest of the world.

Unless you have experienced true fear, you would not be making that statement.

To have someone be afraid of you is just their projection of you being something that you are not, or you are downright friggin scary ...

neither is a particularly good situation to be in.

Love and fear are both powerfull, but you have more options if you are loved.

You can instill fear in those who love you,

more easily then you can intill love in those who fear you.

Both love and fear generate the other!

People love dictators and dictators generate fear

The Stockholm Syndrome generates empathy through fear!

Too much of either is dangerous if abused.

As Freddie Mercury said ...

"Too much love will kill you
just as sure as none at all"

Fear is just Force
Love is Power

That's really sick roll eyes I don't mean that at all.

C'mon, anyone with a loving parent knows how that "I'm disappointed in your actions" stings WWWAAAAAAYYY worse than any "whoopin"



It's the love OF the fear of the roller coaster that gets you on it.


Fear of Love ruins everything.

to fear something is to be afraid of a loss of something else.

be it the loss of a parent's love, or the loss of your dignity, or even the loss of your life.

It is hard in todays society to have true love. We are trained from day one and even before to seek the almighty dollar. This breeds a selfish attitude that is hard to through off. Almost every thing that we encounter points us toward getting more for our selves. If you can find someone that does not seek just for themselves it is rare. Cherish them for they are few.
