Fear. Fear masquerades itself in many ways.

Fear is a coward itself. It hides behind anger. It hides behind False Confidence. It hides behind hypocrisy. It doesn't want to be exposed.

The anger, false confidence and hypocrisy we see. The fear we don't.   But, it's there for all who will admit it!

We all see things very differently. I don't know why that is. What is completely clear to one is like mud to another . Both sides fight for what they believe.   And both sides are guilty of fighting poorly.

  We fear different things. We both have very legitimate reasons for being afraid. I think our greatest weakness is in so easily dismissing the other side. We have to find problem solving skills that will acknowledge everybody's fears. This is our greatest challenge. Acknowledging another person's fears and respecting that person's conviction is not the easiest thing to do.   If it was, we would all be doing it.  Right?
