Thinking prompt #32: CONNECTING FEAR & VIOLENCE

Hi Everyone,

I came across these quotes on fear’s connection to violence in Éric Baret’s book Let the Moon Be Free: Conversations on Kashmiri Tantra.

Please let them serve as today’s thinking prompts. Give yourself some time to absorb these ideas, to see how they might apply to your characters and their specific situations.

• “What frightens you reveals the fear that you carry.”

• “You put an end to violence when you are no longer afraid—because violence comes from fear.”

• “Violence is the fear of your fears, of your emotions. Fear that you project onto the environment.”

• “Wars have never put an end to violence.”

Abrazos,

Cristina
