Fear a human instinct that can keep us from danger. But sometimes it is so strong it controls a person. "Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live" – Dorothy Thompson. One must ask themselves how much of my life is controlled by fear? How much of that fear is even based on facts? How many times has that fear stopped me? The easiest way to control a person is through fear and our leaders know that. During election times they roll out ads after ads painting horrible pictures of their competition to scare the public into not voting for them. We make videos and write stories stereotyping people and making them all out to be some type of monster. Fear keeps us divided and blinded. It leads to deaths. For how much longer will we let this continue before we the people start to change it? How many more wars? How many more lives? How many times must history repeat? Progress will never be made for as long as we are separated by fear. For the prosperity of the next generation. One must choose. Fear or facts?
