Are You Afraid?

When things look dark and hopeless, that is the time to find out who your friends and neighbours really are. Or do you think you are the only one who is afraid? Look with new eyes at the people you meet daily, and you will quickly realize that everyone is frightened, at least at some level. But every time we share a burden like fear with another person, that burden is cut in half, and is replaced by love. Suddenly we will realize that we are not as alone as we thought we were.

- Johann Christoph Arnold
