Duh

If you can look your fears straight in the eye

Standing square head on to them

And say

Screw you

I'm backed by the power of God

If you can look death itself in the face and say

So what

I'm backed by God

Then you're life would be truly magical

Because then

You could truly live your life

With your heart in your hand

Now

This is a terribly hard thing to do

We all live only a pace away from our boogieman

So the threat seems ever so constantly real

But if we can embrace the fear and transform it to

Love and acceptance

Then we will be truly alive

Truly living

But the crux of it is

It's a very hard thing to accomplish

Or bumping into the likes of Jesus, Buddha, Joan of Arc's* would be an every day occurrence.

Don't you think?

What's your worth?

Advertisers.

Corporations.

Government.

Religions.

Spends millions of dollars getting inside your head.

To see what motivates you.

What seduces you.

What makes you tick.

Why?

To control you.

To sell you something.

To have you in their back pocket

You hold no value to them

As a free person

Making your own free choices in life

Not beholden to anyone or anything

Not afraid

Not living in fear of consequences

Not under constant stress/duress

A truly happy and 100% free person

A really carefree person

What do they need to buy?

How can they be scared into compliance

Submission

They can't.

They simply can't be

And that's the scariest thing to any entity

Seeking control

That's why the scariest thing

Is someone with nothing to lose

Or not needing anything to gain
