How does fear stand in the way of our compassion? Do I fear that if I talk to or aid an obviously homeless person that, that act will cause that person to bond to me and I will be forever responsible for that person? Fear will cause a paralysis in our soul. We can fear being to loving, to gentle, to angry, to aggressive, to meek, to mild. Fear will cause us to procrastinate doing the spiritual work that we know is in our best interest. Fear of success and fear of failure are two sides of the same coin. To allow our compassion to grow we must overcome the fear that dwells within each of us.
