Fear is the path to the dark side

[MSimon]

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” - Yoda.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Dark is the fear to the path side.

I use a bicycle for that.

But are you Grateful about it?

But are you Grateful about it?

I prefer flying with the Airplane.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The moral of the panic? More government power.

I'll Jefferson that.
