Freedom Is Courage

People are religious because they fear.

Fear of death. Fear of being shunned by the tribe. Fear of endless torture in Hell. Fear of the end of everything.

People elect those they fear least.
This one will keep me safe in my nice house. This one will let me keep my job. This one will protect me from my fears. This one belongs to my religion.

People follow laws in fear of penalties and police.
If I do this I might go to jail. If I do this a cop might shoot me. If I do this someone might call the police.

Religions control populations with fear.

Politicians control countries with fear.

Police control citizens with fear.

We're controlled by those who cause and advocate fear.
We make decisions in fear. We stay in a hated job in fear. We stay in a bad marriage in fear. We eat, sleep, fight, and fuck in fear.

We must have courage to make changes for the betterment of humanity.
Courage is not a lack of fear.
Courage is to act in spite of your fears.

Freedom is not a lack of fear.
Freedom is not allowing your fears to make your decisions.

We can end war, religious abuses, police brutality, bullying...

We can be free.

All we need is the courage to do so.
