Most hatred is based on fear, one way or another. Yeah. I wrapped myself in anger, with a dash of hate, and at the bottom of it all was an icy center of pure terror.

About This Quote

Fear is the most common cause of hatred. It is an emotion that everyone experiences, but few are able to control or understand. Fear is a powerful force, lurking inside all of us at all times. It is the thing that immobilizes us when our lives are in danger, makes us want to run when someone approaches with bad intentions, and causes us to feel so deeply when something terrible happens to another person.

It’s the reason we hide behind false bravado and try to avoid confrontation. Acknowledging our fears can be difficult. We like our fears to be real, and we like them to be normal.

With that said, it’s important that we learn how to deal with them properly. When fear is allowed to rule out our lives, it can create a great deal of damage.
