Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that true living can only commence once we overcome fear. It implies that fear acts as a barrier that restricts us from fully experiencing life and all of its possibilities. When we shed our fears, we become liberated and more open to taking risks, pursuing our passions, and embracing new adventures. By confronting and conquering our fears, we can truly start living a life that is authentic, fulfilling, and abundant.

When that moment comes, sobriety begins.

I've heard of many people who claim they'd as soon their children were dead as gay. What it took me a long time to believe is that these people are saying no more than the truth. They even speak for others too delicate to use the cruel words.

It does kids no favors, and sets them up for a potential lifetime of poor health and social embarrassment, to excuse them from family meals of real food. Everyone benefits from healthy eating, but it is particularly crucial at the beginning of life.
