Americans have internalized fear. From the time we were toddlers, we’ve been fed fear on the news every single day of our lives. We’ve been fed fear in commercials every day of our lives. People are scared to take paid time off at work because they’re afraid that if the company can get along without them for a week, they’ll get the axe. People are (rightfully) afraid of natural disasters. People are (rightfully) afraid of crime. People are (rightfully) afraid of being one paycheck away from homelessness, because the bulk of the country has less than five hundred dollars in savings. People are (rightfully) afraid of not having the $$$ for a medical emergency. The whole country runs on fear 24/7, cradle to grave. This is by design, because this is how they control us. Once you realize all this, it’s easier to extricate yourself from it all, and put your faith in something higher than Uncle Sam.

Excellent sentiment. I could not agree more and beautifully written .
