It is part of human tradition to accept fear. Both the older and younger generations live with fear. Most are not aware that we live in fear. It is only in a mild form of crisis or a shattering incident that we become aware of this abiding fear. It is there. Some are aware of it, others shy away from it. Tradition says to control fear, run away from it, suppress it, analyse it, act upon it or accept it. We have lived with fear for millennia, and we somehow manage to get along with it. It is the nature of tradition to act upon it or run away from it, or sentimentally to accept it and look to an outside agency to resolve it. Religions spring from this fear, and the politician’s compelling urge for power is born out of this fear. Any form of domination over another is the nature of fear. When a man or a woman possesses another, there is fear in the background, and this fear destroys every form of relationship.
