Zen Mode

fear sets in motion
a negative desire
to experience denial
of bountiful abundance
that is always available

desire sets in motion
yearnings of ignorance
to secure an object
that is but a fleeting mirage
within the lucid dream

Yes, exactly! Fear and desires are two sides of the same coin called attachment, rooted in delusion, caused by ignorance of our true nature
