Love based or Fear based
Permalink  
 


How we think and behave is determined by the polar opposite emotions of the human sensory experience: love and fear. Everything we think and do - every action and reaction - arises from an initial thought or feeling anchored in love or fear (i.e. acceptance is a feeling that emerges from a state of love, war is a reaction born of fear.) Each choice from love is a step closer to a more fearless, compassionate and enlightened way of being, while fear leads only to a depressive, isolated and chaotic existence.


Love-based / Fear-based
Generous / Selfish
Selfless / Self-absorbed
Allowing / Controlling
Truth / Denial
Calm / Anxious
Confident / Arrogant
Ecstasy / Rage
Create / Destroy 
Freedom / Oppression
Spiritual / Materialistic
Tolerant / Prejudiced
Open / Secretive
Giving / Taking
