I see people trying to cope with the emotion of fear everyday.
We fear change, so we fight against ideas that would destabilize our long held beliefs.
We fear each other, so we distance ourselves in public and avoid communication.
We fear other nations and their beliefs which lead to wars.
We're afraid of the unknown of death, but afraid to "really live our lives to the fullest".
Do you find this to be true or do you find another emotion to be of more influence? If so, what?

Fear is the opposite of Faith and yeah people are afraid. I remember how I was afraid of everything before I had Faith that God would take care of me and that I was important to Him and He was on my side and in charge.

is greed an emotion? it sure has been controlling things since day 2...and fear has been rampant for a very very long time also. the world today is no different than it has ever been. Theres' the highs and lows. Nations have been blessed and some damned, and some blessed and then damned.

Definitely in America. Everthing the gov. does is out of fear of another terrorist attack. Unfortunately love and pride have been surpassed by fear as the main driving influence in our world today.

Yes, I find this very true but on the other hand it is the "frustration" of not being able to do anything directly to help or change or avoid the threats presented to us in this day and age that then forces one to change one's thought patterns involuntarily..if you know what I mean?

I think it's relative to you environment. Either fear or greed in one form or another. Fear or losing what you have. Greed in wanting more.
Best wishes.

Greed is number one. Then we fear we may lose all we've amassed through our greed.

If you control someone's fear, you pretty much control them altogether. That's how people get power.

We have but two choices. Love or fear.
One brings us together, the other drives us apart.
Pick one and make it yours.
Love and blessings Don

Self denial, and fear.
