The end of fear

Upon Obama’s historical inauguration, most everything has already been said, so what else could I add that would further seal the new era we entered into yesterday? I’d simply say that along with Bush and Cheney, the nefarious influence of fear is now gone. This poison that has systematically and relentlessly been served to the American public since September 11 has now stopped dripping in. It seems that it only came along to give some sense to an otherwise directionless presidency. Yes, I am convinced that fear is bad; at least ninety percent of the time; fear is the set of shackles that we put on ourselves as soon as we leave childhood and go play in the “big folks’ sandbox.” The departing Administration, all dictators and most religious preachers are all fear merchants and we need to learn how to steer clear from them. As we free ourselves from all this negativity, a life devoid of fear can restart with more love, more giving, more creative thoughts and more vitality than ever!
