Fear and love

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.080
The two most distinct emotional
feelings that as human beings

2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.199
we have are fear and love.
So the opposite of love is not hatred.

3
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.359
The opposite of love is fear.

4
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.560
And when people are experiencing fear
there is immediate closure.

5
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:20.199
There is immediate need for security.
There is immediate need for possessiveness,

6
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:22.920
for control, for greediness,

7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.079
for having more than the other,
for controlling the other.

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.600
So when fear takes over,
as an individual or a community,

9
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.520
it completely limits and closes
the possibility for anything moving forward.

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.479
If an individual is motivated
by fear,

11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.600
they become suspicious.

12
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.359
They become doubtful.
They become mistrusting.

13
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:48.039
They only look out for themselves,
their interests, their possessiveness,

14
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.799
their ability to be able
to have a tomorrow

15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.799
because they are afraid that
they would lose that.

16
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.240
So everything shifts
in the consciousness of that individual

17
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.920
and the same with the community.
