Fear Is Just A Lie

Tenth Avenue North's Video Journal on "Fear Is Just A Lie."



"Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. Keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. And avoid fear, though fear is simply the consequence of every lie." ~  Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." ~ 1 John 4:18 [NIV 1984]

"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." ~ President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933
