| Re: The Root of All Evil
Fear is the root of all evil. Fear of losing what you have, fear of not getting what you want, fear of the unknown, fear of anything different, fear that you'll be shown for the fraud that you are by people who are smarter, faster, stronger and just plain better than you. Fear breeds hatred and intolerance, which leads people to do evil.
Not only does fear lead to evil in the people that hold it, the fearful are so easily manipulated that they willingly do and accept evil if instructed by a strong, comforting voice that tells them what they long to hear. It's how racists, religious fanatics, gay bashers, politicians, the media, etc. operate, playing on the fears of the people who believe in them.
