I wasn’t scared, I didn’t like it, that doesn’t always mean you’re scared. I grew up being ashamed of fear. Fear is ignorance and you my dear are not ignorant. I hate being accused of ignorance, it is the one most awful insult a person could lash out at me with. I’ll take every dirty word you have, I will be the scum of your earth, but don’t ever call me ignorant. I pride myself on my knowledge. I’m a proud person, not so proud that it kills me, but my knowledge and my speech make me who I am. I am not afraid. I am stubborn. I grew up in a household that refused to allow me to be afraid. If I was afraid, I would be lectured, “there is nothing to fear except fear itself…” (Thomas Jefferson). Fear is paralyzing it prevents us from acting the way we can and should. Fear takes out our words and actions and freezes them in our mouths and feet. We stop mid motion and allow fear to take control of us. Therefore fear is wrong and I am not wrong. Well I just succeeded in sounding like a pompous fuck. Well fear is … fear… and I was not scared. I will not be scared because to be scared is to be ignorant. And I Am Not Ignorant.
