Past Present Future

To see the future one must first listen to the past One cannot fear the past One must face it One cannot fear the future One must courageously face it' One cannot fear the present One must not mask it (C)....CATHERINE BUCHNER 2012

this is a true statement and not having fear is always a good thing, but I think that people, even if they face the fear of present and future, that they will always have the fear somewhere in their hearts
