There is nothing loving about encouraging fear. Nothing. Fear leads to darkness, depression, anger, irrationality, anxiety, consternation, unrest, and ultimately, destruction. Fear, as Yoda reminds us all, is the path to the Dark Side. Fear is a weapon, not a productive tool. Fear is a means of control. Fear should never be the basis for why anyone does anything regarding the health of the mind, body, and spirit. . Michael Vito Tosto
About This Quote

Yoda is a Jedi Master and a teacher of the Force. He is also a wise and powerful Jedi Master who has lived for thousands of years. He was born on the planet of Dagobah and passed on before the events depicted in the Star Wars films. Yoda is considered one of the greatest Jedi Masters because he lived long enough to see many things change and become stronger, such as the Republic into the Galactic Empire, the rise of the Jedi, and the defeat of all of his enemies. Yoda’s message about fear might seem contradictory today, but he was speaking against fear in all forms.
