Fear Is The Mind Killer

Fear about what this world
is becoming.

Fear that the world will
somehow destroy the house
of cards they have built.
Fear that big business
is out to break them.
Fear that their government
is their enemy.

Fear of people who
are different from them.
Fear of people with vision,
because they have none.
Fear is the mind killer,
and you can see how strongly
fear has taken hold by the
astonishing number of people who
will hate you simply because you
have a different point of view.
Fear is the narcotic
people feed on to justify
their prejudices.

Fear is the mind killer. 09

Nice quote!  Also very accurate.  Fear stops people from thinking and makes them react.  It truly kills the mind.  Fear has been used very effectively to control and manipulate.  Nicely posted!
