Love versus Fear

Shirley MacLaine, in Sage-ing While Age-ing claims that the main lesson for many people is love versus fear. I agree. Too many of us let fear dominate our lives, a fear that runs from worry about relationships to money to global warming. We need to make good decisions that impact our lives. Fear interferes with those choices.

An aspect of this fear, as explained by MacLaine, is that we decide “let’s not talk of problems.”

“It’s as though conditions in our world have deteriorated so completely that no one wants to engage in its alarming meaning for fear that they won’t be able to erase it from their minds.”

MacLaine believes, as do many, that time is moving more rapidly, and we are or will begin feeling an increase in energy around us. With all of this, however, she is optimistic about our future. Yes, we need to make changes and be more aware in our lives. But she does not see an end of the world coming.

We don’t need to be frightened of the future, causing us to dismiss it from our minds. We can, in small ways, impact our lives, the world and the universe. That is how it works. We don’t need to do big things; we just need to do small things with good intention. That is what will allow us to evolve to a better world.
