COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

Fear Not

Be not afraid of life.  Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will create the fact.  ~William James


"Fear Not" is repeated many times in the Bible and attributed to the creator, maybe suggesting that we are fearful beings.  We need to be confidant that if something befalls us like injury or we get mugged on the way home, we will survive.  Humans are resilient and we can overcome much hardship.

We cannot control what the world does to us, but we can control how we respond to adversity.
