Fear and Ego

 This must be mostly about what I don't know about this topic.

Simply, I am trying to assert there is a link between these two

parts of our lives, without specifically explaining how or why

there may be such a link.

For this post , however, I think it is important to consider how great

an impact fear has on our lives if we are residing in these -

shores?  And I can reflect for myself how great an impact it has

had throughout my life.  If you experience very little fear, then

perhaps you know someone for whom it has had a greater impact.

As far as ego is concerned, I view it more as a signal.  Of course

fear you can also view as a type of signal, but generally it is

a variety of signals, and many of  those, you can sometimes ignore.

These signals, fears and  ego , it seems to me, to intertwine is various ways.

Of course we are always dealing with this ... And of course we are always

attentive, but it seems to me, that the now of now, requires us to dig a little

deeper and understand a little more, in our individuals lives, as well

as in our families, and communities.

It seems to me there are two things that are helpful for our

considerations of these topics.  Viewing them in a different way

and consider how they are connected to courage and justice.  

In other words , how do we go about cultivating and encouraging 

these virtues in our own lives and how we encourage that in others.
