More From Audre Lorde

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. according to psychiatrists, the fear of public speaking is caused by the fear of ostracism, the fear of standing out, the fear of criticism, the fear of ridicule, the fear of being an outcast. the fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems.
People Being Different Criticism
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. fear of not being liked. fear of making the wrong choice. fear of drawing negative attention. fear of overreaching. fear of being judged. fear of failure. and the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.

I have no fear, no fear at all. i wake up, and i have no fear. i go to bed without fear. fear, fear, fear, fear. yes, 'fear' is a word that is not in my vocabulary.
Vocabulary Bed Wake Up
Your anger is like a flower. in the beginning you may not understand the nature of your anger, or why it has come up. but if you know how to embrace it with the energy of mindfulness, it will begin to open. you may be sitting, following your breathing, or you may be practicing walking meditation to generate the energy of mindfulness and embrace your anger. after ten or twenty minutes your anger will have to open herself to you, and suddenly, you will see the true nature of your anger. it may have arisen just because of a wrong perception or the lack of skillfulness.
Flower Anger Walking Meditation
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. if someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. on the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.

Similar Quotes
We need a boundless ethic, one which will include the animals, too. until we extend the circle of his compassions to all living things, we will not find peace.
Animal Compassion Circles
I've done and said a lot of things when i was younger that i don't know if i even understood what i was doing or why i was doing it. there's a lot of compassion in understanding what people go through and even in trying to understand why a person would act the way they do. i was a very reactive person, and i did things that were just really bizarre; i don't think people understood it at all.
Thinking Compassion People
No great, inspiring culture of the future can be built upon the moral principle of relativism. for at its bottom such a culture holds that nothing is better than anything else, and that all things are in themselves equally meaningless. except for the fragments of faith (in progress, in compassion, in conscience, in hope) to which it still clings, illegitimately, such a culture teaches every one of its children that life is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.
Children Compassion Progress
