Fear, much more than hatred, is the opposite of love.
Yes, exactly.
I have come to believe this as part of my study of faith. I no longer believe in religion, but I do believe deeply in faith.
I believe fear strangles our impulses toward love and accountability, and I believe it is why striving to be a truly loving person can sometimes be so difficult, because we have to work hard to consistently overcome our own fears enough to let ourselves behave with love.
Which is maybe not germaine to the topic of Internet hoaxes, but it was so refreshing to find someone who understands the thing that I believe is the most important in life and in spiritual life.
