A quotation from Einstein

I salute the man who is going through life always helpful, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien. Such is the stuff of which the great moral leaders are made who proffer consolation to mankind in their self-created miseries.
 
[Heil dem Manne, der stets helfend durchs Leben ging, keine Furcht kannte und dem jede Aggressivität und jedes Ressentiment fremd war! Von solchem Holz sind die Idealgestalten geschnitzt, die der Menschheit Trost bieten in den Situationen selbstgeschaffenen Leidens.]

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
Essay (1953-05-23), “Aphorisms for Leo Baeck [Neun Aphorismen], No. 1, Essays Presented to Leo Baeck on the Occasion of His Eightieth Birthday (1954) [Einstein Archives 28-962]

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear. Thus a feeling of utter unworthiness can be a source of courage.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 87 (1955)

A quotation from Nachman of Breslov:

All the world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to be overwhelmed by fear.

This is how we begin to make a difference. #change #fearlessness #writersofmastodon #writingforchange

I've learned that #masking as an #ActuallyAutistic is not a binary thing. It is like an onion win many layers.

There are layers of #unmasking that require extreme levels of trust and/or #fearlessness that are super rare. Even with loved partners, even in #safespaces for neurodivergence.

These deep layers include letting people into the "the basement" of your mind, seeing all the darkness and trauma and monsters down there.

perhaps i am biased, however it seems this might be a good time to reboot the idea of freedom based on
#Fearlessness??
(eg parrhesia - when one threatens another through claiming they may utter anything - do they not ruin the very thing they want for themselves?
