Немного изящной словесности
Из книжки, которую читаю (слова главного героя):
I’ll tell you a secret about fear: it’s an absolutist. With fear, it’s all or nothing. Either, like any bullying tyrant, it rules your life with a stupid blinding omnipotence, or else you overthrow it, and its power vanishes in a puff of smoke. And another secret: the revolution against fear, the engendering of that tawdry despot’s fall, has more or less nothing to do with ‘courage’. It is driven by something much more straightforward: the simple need to get on with your life.
В нескольких недавних дискуссиях доводилось высказывать что-то вроде этой мысли, но не до конца додуманной.
