When we condemn that which we have given the power to invoke fear in our lives we only cut off the only channel of communication available to us that can open up understanding that will in turn give us the ability to change our circumstances such that we no longer have anything to fear.
But, the change to our circumstances can take time. Fortunately, once we have opened the channel to understanding we immediately loose the need for fear. In fact, it is only without fear that meaningful change can ever come into this world, whether that change be to an individual's personal experience, or to an entire society's collective experience (e.g. world peace).
A person without fear can „hear” things that no human language could ever begin to convey. A society without fear will make the last two hundred years of scientific progress look like the last twenty thousand years. We will do in two years what once would have taken two thousand! We will fly without mechanical aid. We will communicate across galaxies by mere thought alone. We will manipulate energy and matter like plasmic playdo, creating art at will, and beauty will replace function as the measure of accomplishment. All this for the lack of fear. And all this lost to us because of fear.
