Fear is not inherently selfish. Fear can cloud our judgement; it can prevent us from acting or it can cause us to act recklessly. But fear can also tell us where our limits are.
An unwillingness to get involved in death and violence does not mean you do not care about your people. There are many ways to help, and not all of them require you to be risking your life on the front lines of the revolution. Someone must be there to pick up the pieces.
okay so it's like a dude guy from a long long long long time ago who apparently was gods son and like he did some magic and healed ppl but made the mistake to tell every1 to be kind to each other and that pissed the government off so they killed him
moral of the story is don't try to be a peacemaker nice guys finish last
don't worry about it but some of the stuff you say?? i could totally see it in holy manuscripts or like next to karen's live laugh love needlepoint on her kitchen wall

We are not born inherently good or evil. Our choices are what define us. Sometimes the easiest choice is to be selfish, and power is a heady drug.
