I must say a word about fear. It is life's only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a clever$$$ treacherous adversary$$$ how well I know. It has no decency$$$ respects no law or convention$$$ shows no mercy. It goes for your weakest spot$$$ which it finds with unnerving ease. It begins in your mind$$$ always ... so you must fight hard to express it. You must fight hard to shine the light of words upon it. Because if you don't$$$ if your fear becomes a wordless darkness that you avoid$$$ perhaps even manage to forget$$$ you open yourself to further attacks of fear because you never truly fought the opponent who defeated you.
