Do Not Fear, Fear !

I feared life untill i expereinced its beauty.

I feared death untill i realised that its not an end, but a begining.

I feared hate, untill i saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.

I feared ridicule untill i learnt how to laugh at myself.

I feared growing old untill i realised that i gained wisdom everyday.

I feared the future untill i realised that life kept getting better.

I feared the past untill i realised that it could hurt me no more.

I feared the dark untill i saw the beauty of the starlight.

I feared the light untill i learnt that truth would give me strength.
