“Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerade as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man’s self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilised man.”
- Aung San Suu Syi
The Lady is truly a courageous worrier who knows what the value of life is about. She has suffered much over the years with so much dignity and grace.
The world is truly blessed to have such a beautiful soul living in our midst. She is serving like a beacon of hope to all the people who have lost sight of hope and defeated by the evil that exists everywhere.
So, do not be afraid - overcome the fear! It is better to live a courageous, short life than to cling to a meaningless and cowardice one.
