Fear is real if the gunman is chasing you
Fear is real when your child has died
Fear is real if the voice is saying the truth
Fear is real if you can’t connect with your neighbour
Fear is real if you can’t say it with your own words
Fear is real if you are in prison or swimming in a black ocean after the Titanic hit the iceberg
Fear is stopping living in the open
Fear is when experience gets in the way
Fear is the devil playing his game
Fear shows us we need more experience
Fear God
Fear is emotion????
Fear helps us survive
Fear is a guide to protect what you hold dear.
Fear tells us to grow a little bit more.
