To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.

To be afraid is to behave as if the truth were not true.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear is not rooted in reality or the truth. When someone is afraid, they are essentially acting as though the truth does not exist or refusing to accept it. It implies that fear distorts our perception and leads us to make decisions or take actions that are not based on the actual reality of the situation. Thus, the quote encourages individuals to confront their fears with courage and seek the truth instead of allowing fear to dictate their behavior.

Neither the Buddha nor the Christ belongs exclusively to the communities that were founded in their names. They belong to all people of goodwill, all who are attentive to the secret which lives in the depths of their breath and their consciousness. (14)
