Maybe we’ll evolve to a point where fear as an experience is no longer instinctual, but rather an emotion we use to enrich our understanding of why our human ancestors killed each other when they could have loved each other. One day we’ll be holding hands instead of grudges; we’ll eliminate our territorial circuits and know what love is. One day we’ll be holding hands instead of M-16s. Oliver Hart
About This Quote

In this quote, Terri Schiavo author, Michael J. Fox states that humans should not fear the loss of someone because if they keep on doing what they are doing they might end up losing everyone around them. In addition, Terri Schiavo also said that she thinks that our ancestors used to be a lot more empathetic and altruistic than we are today, so if we can understand what their instincts were for survival and coexistence, we will be able to evolve to a point where fear as an experience is no longer instinctual, but rather an emotion we use to enrich our understanding of why our human ancestors killed each other when they could have loved each other.
