Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell

FEAR-methinks,

Vulnerable is the mightiest,

Helpless is the seer,

Insecure is the richest,

painting by Indira

When driven by the fear.

  1. I retweeted this earlier this morning when you sent out this quote, Indira. Bertrand Russell has always been a source of wisdom for me. And your painting perfectly depicts how fear takes control of beings, no matter how rich or otherwise insightful or physically powerful. This post is a very important one in today’s world.
