confronting/ the/ fear of life

Sometimes we retreat too much into our comfort zones that going out into the world is like being exhaled into a tropical wilderness, without immunity to the germs and potential diseases attached to interaction. We end up being scared of the world. Yet evolving that immunity could only mean going out more, facing other people, striking up conversations, talk, communicate, discuss, lecture, learn, preach, open up minds, theirs and yours.
Looked at this way, the experience could then be as if down a long, dark, familiar tunnel, you are then rushed and born into the light. And start a rich and complex life, out in the open, with other people.
It reminds me: The powers-that-be always attempt to dam the dispossessed; catalysts can aid in the process of bursting the dam, until all dams are opened. Along with the hardening of the earth, rain must fall. Efforts should be made to help people articulate their demands and empower them in their communities. This will require unity, organization and struggle.
