It's almost like we have been left with the fearful scenarios in play so that we are forced to confront our fears, but those "running the game" know that they won't play out. All part of the learning experience to have faith and hope.
I've learned over the past five years: Never, Ever, Ever Give Up, ... Trust yourself ... know that you have brothers in arms and never stand alone ... that the world is much bigger than your own neighbors ... that compassion and empathy are virtues ...
So many new experiences... no fear!
