Three-quarters Dead

Bertrand Russell once said, “To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three-quarters dead.” Perhaps that’s Nora’s problem. Maybe she’s just afraid of living.

Fear is a destructive virus that can bring people down. It has such a strong impact that it can prevent you from taking even a single step. Even if you’re alive, you might as well be dead. “Let’s turn fear into courage!” This was Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s rallying cry, who won countless battles under difficult conditions. Fear, courage, and energy are the same. When you transform fear into the courage to love and to live, you change from being three-quarters dead to fully alive.
