What is Love?

What is Love? What it is not is fear, for fear triggers separation and isolation, which then triggers self-inadequacy, self-superiority, self-righteousness, self-judgment, judgement of others, anger, and unforgiveness towards self and others, and it goes on. Imagine all that from just one emotion we call, fear. Fear is like a domino effect.

Fear is a commodity game played by entities like some news, marketing, headline, and image creators, YouTubers, bloggers, vloggers, and 15-second audio-visual-bite creators to trigger fear: fear of losing something, fear of being a have-not, fear of having less than the other, fear of lacking, fear of being ugly, fear of being unfashionable, fear of being unnoticed, fear of not being liked, fear of being alone, fear of growing old, fear of dying. If you don’t do this or buy this, then you are not one of “us”, or bad things will happen. Or both! This list could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Fear sells. Fear has become a profitable commodity. You are their pawns. At the same time, you are their commodity!

Not only does fear sell, it also isolates you. Fear makes you feel alone, inadequate, and powerless. This is what fearmongers try to create in your mind. 

If the fearmongers succeed, it would be the same as you have allowed it to live in your home, your sanctuary rent-free! You make choices guided by your fear-mongering roommate. You have given your power over to the entity — news, marketing, headline, and image creators, YouTubers, bloggers, vloggers, and 15-second audio-visual-bite creators.

So what could you do? Take back control of your sanctuary. Evict the fearmongers. Stop allowing these fearmongers to live rent-free in your mind! Be still and know: you are not alone, you are more intelligent than you thought, you are more powerful than you dare to imagine, we are even more powerful together, you are more loving than you thought, there is no fear in love.
