Thoughts on fear, understanding and love

as humans, we naturally SEEK TO CONFIGURE.

we reject confusion and that which is abstract, as these breed FEAR.

FEAR, above all else,

is the presence of something we can not control.

inherently, fear calls on us to lack EMPATHY,
the one thread that delicately holds together our sameness.

in order to conquer fear, and, as a result, achieve HARMONY,

it is necessary to peer beyond an IMAGINARY WALL

that separates and DIVIDES US.

in so doing, we create room for a unique perspective.

that perspective is UNDERSTANDING,

or, in another word, LOVE.

with that, I ask you this:

is love real, or merely an ILLUSION we've constructed

to explain what we can not grasp?

is love simply a function

of our innate need to CATEGORIZE the abstract?

is love a figment of the human IMAGINATION,
developed over time,
to protect our hearts from the unknown?

and if these things are absolute truths,

should

LOVE

therefore

be

FEARED?
