The slow sinful sound of silence

Fear.

They say nothing;

They watch;

Quietly.

Cowardice defined, they let the river flow by.

Why?

Fear's why.

Fear is the biggest block to our emotional, spiritual and political growth: Fear of losing face; losing job; losing out; losing clothes; losing cash; losing in.

Now, there is no point in losing just for the sake of it. But is there respect for honourable loss? Paradox has this piece of advice for 2007. Lose the fear and you will find someone you have dreamt about, someone you knew when you were very young, someone you remember but are not sure where they have gone to. Lose your fear and find yourself.
