Fear of sexuality is the new, disease-sponsored register of the universe of fear in which everyone now lives. cancerphobia taught us the fear of a polluting environment; now we have the fear of polluting people that aids anxiety inevitably communicates. fear of the communion cup, fear of surgery: fear of contaminated blood, whether christ's blood or your neighbor's.

Fear Of Sexuality Is The New, Disease-sponsored

Susan Sontag
Fear of sexuality is the new, disease-sponsored register of the universe of fear in which everyone now lives. cancerphobia taught us the fear of a polluting environment; now we have the fear of polluting people that aids anxiety inevitably communicates. fear of the communion cup, fear of surgery: fear of contaminated blood, whether christ's blood or your neighbor's.

Fear Disease Sexuality
I would never call a neighbor an enemy. but i would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.
Enemy Neighbor Interest
People still think of aids as a shame-based disease, it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you're either gay or you're a prostitute or an intravenous drug user. and so a lot of people are still very bigoted about this disease. it's such a treatable disease. it's so - the end is in sight for this disease, medically.
Gay Thinking People
It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ... some of the worst tyrannies of our day genuinely are "vowed" to the service of mankind, yet can function only by pitting neighbor against neighbor. the all-seeing eye of a totalitarian regime is usually the watchful eye of the next-door neighbor. in a communist state love of neighbor may be classed as counter-revolutionary.
Eye Doors Humanity
The aids disease is caused by a virus, but the aids epidemic is not. the aids epidemic is fueled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation, by ignorance, by indifference. science has accomplished miracles over the past 20 years, and science can now end this disease - but it cannot end the epidemic. we need more than medicine. we can do something about these things. we need to speak out about the changes we need to make in our society.

Hate Thinking Long
In every one of us there are good seeds and bad. we have the seed of brotherhood, love, compassion, insight. but we have also the seed of anger, hate, dissent.

Even when people act nastily to you, don't condemn them or retaliate.
