The Fear
„Fears are utter folly; a person should not fear at all, but only take care.”From Middot HaRe'iyah, 'Cowardice'
Fear kills reality. It has the power to destroy every good portion, sometimes without any proof. And it crawls and slowly destroys what we managed to build with much labor. *We are obligated in caution* — it is critical in our lives and causes us to guard ourselves and to act. But we are warned against fear that paralyzes us. In general we must know that precisely in hard moments, action is an engine of life. To act, to do, to live. And above all, not to fear at all!
