„Love casts out fear.
This truth is not without a bearing on our personal anxieties. We are afraid of the superiority of other people, of failure, and of the scorn of disapproval of those whose opinions we most value. Envy, jealousy, a lack of self-confidence, a feeling of insecurity, and a haunting sense of inferiority are all rooted in fear. We do not envy people and then fear them; first we fear them and subsequently we become jealous of them. Is there a cure for these annoying fears that pervert our personal lives? Yes, a deep and abiding commitment to the way of love.
…
Hatred and bitterness can never cure the disease of fear; only love can do that.
Hatred paralyzed life; love releases it.
Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.“
Martin Luther King Jr.
