Reflection

undefined

Fear does not prevent death. It prevents life.

— Naguib Mahfouz

Why this matters:

Social upheaval often uses fear as its primary tool of control. Equanimity is the refusal to let that fear stop you from living a full, principled life. By accepting mortality, we gain a peace that the threat of force cannot touch.
