Breaking free from the web...

I once heard a saying that the only two emotions are fear and love. All other emotions are just versions of one of the two, sneaking around covertly with the purpose of "protecting" you from the truth. Since hearing this years ago, I have argued it over and over in my brain. And, I have come to the conclusion that I think it's pretty darn near on the money. It's a lot easier to deal with your emotions when you boil them down to one or the other. It's also scarier because you suddenly realize how afraid you truly are- of people, of yourself, of life. But once you face that, it becomes a lot easier to laugh at it. And, what more can we ask from life, really?


All these tangled roots serve one purpose: to sustain. Fear, just as love, serves to point us to the truth. You just can't get caught in the web.
