It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead. What we do not want is the fear to come to an end. That is why we have invented all these new minds, new sciences, new talks, therapies, choiceless awareness and various other gimmicks. U.G. Krishnamurti
About This Quote

This is a quote by Albert Einstein. He was speaking about fear and how we use it to control us and block us from living to the fullest. Fear is the most powerful emotion that we experience each and every day. Many people spend their entire lives trying to conquer their fears and conquer them once and for all.

This quote is really telling us that we shouldn’t worry about our fears but rather focus on living our lives to the fullest. The greatest part about this quote is that we know deep down inside what we want to be and do in life and what we don’t want to be or do. So, instead of living in fear, we should live in the knowledge of who we truly are and what we truly want out of life.
