Fearful people avoid loving humans for good reason. The fear knows the potency of love so it would rather not experience its transformative powers.
Fear is not a sustainable emotion. This is the reason children who were abused can someday with the help of a loving human or professional, find the courage to confront their abusers. Fear can temporarily bind people together, until that tiny little candle light enters the room. Once we start to see more clearly, we might add more candles. As our hearts become brighter, we see life as it truly is. A moment to moment miraculous blessing that we can enjoy fully. We start to realise that the fears were illusions brought about by the collective shadows of all who influenced us. Many of whom never ventured on the self awareness journey. They accepted everything they were told even when it did not align with their supreme intuitive knowledge.
