(#5842) Don't let your fear keep you quiet about what is correct

      I know that one fear where you feel like you will lose either everything or your life. I get it that fear is there to remind you that you are vulnerable. But what fear also does is try to rob you of your courage. You can go either way and it is still a gamble. If your fear keeps you from any confrontation then for the moment you are okay. But once you acquiesce to fear your next time around with it will be even harder to reverse to courage. It is a slippery slope to give into fear without fighting back. Your mind will tell you that you have no hope but what your mind doesn't know is that you have no hope when you keep giving in to fear.
     What your mind should be telling you is that with courage you have hope. You stand against the hardships and bullies of the world and you will see another view that your mind never considered. There are others who are out there being courageous and actually fighting to end the trauma and drama of the hardships caused by fear. Hope is a mighty concept when it is all on the line. Fighting for who you are and for what you know is correct is the true American way. Not being subservient to cruel and brutish taskmasters, we Americans have always risen up to our courage and fought hard to defeat the forces of cruelty and injustice.
     My point here is simple. Do not be quiet about the wrongs going on around you. You are either for the good in the world or you are not. Being quiet about it just affirms your inability to be for the good. Once you take yourself out of the solution you are actually helping the problem grow in strength. Silence is acquiescence. We who are born into this existence have a right and a duty to defend and advocate for individual rights and freedoms. No other human being born into this existence gets to lord over us like they are demigods. We all deserve the freedom and liberty to live our lives as we choose with no one above or below the rule of law.
