Fear is something humans do...

 Fear is something humans do.  Fear of lack, fear of death, fear of nothing after death, fear of so many things.   On Tuesday an earthquake hit the east coast of the United States, a place not known for them.  Today an earthquake hit Peru.  Peru has been known to have such before.  A Hurricane is currently in the Atlantic Ocean heading toward the east coast of the United States.  These are fear inducing situations.   Earthquakes, storms, other such phenomena are natural occurrences.   And they can be destructive and cause physical damage, even death.  But we can stand through the strongest storm.  Even if our physical bodies and our collection of things are destroyed the human is eternal.   We do not have to be afraid.  Facing our fear and learning that it does not have to take hold of us is difficult but not impossible and it certainly makes facing our world much easier.
