We pace ourselves in life, the only one we have, in an attempt to affect time. This an unknown amount of time we have to spend here. We try to slow down the times of happiness to enjoy them more, and speed the time through a heartbreak or the loss of a loved one. We want to be healed, and wants are braided around needs so closely we sometimes lose distinction between them. With the significance or power of emotions, we influence ourselves and those around us when to stop and smell the flowers, slow down and catch a breath, or run like hell.
The simple design of fear, the switch and flow valve for adrenaline, ready to kick in and save your life, does not trigger, operate to limits, or seal closed the same in each of us. Some try to never open it, some can't turn it off. The word pain, the idea of pain, and the memory of it, are so closely braided with fear, we can instantly associate and understand their meanings together, in an attempt to save time. We apply the idea, or the power of fear without fully understanding it. The line is easily crossed, as it is drawn in different places for each of us, and fear becomes a weapon. We can be overrun with the fears of others, or overdose ourselves with it, and that which can start out as cautious and healthy can become withdrawn and self-destructive. Fear tries to condense time first with doubt and worry, and then the extremity of panic. Fear would have your heart race until it stops, this without any pace at all.
Because it takes some form of love to bring us into life, or see us to an age we can care for ourselves, it is our natural core emotion. Although we do not usually consider love as the reason we are here today, it is that reason just the same. Love helps us misplace the reasons we are trained to rush around for. Love helps us reshape or bend time back into evenly spaced ripples or wavelengths. Love resets the travel time between each moment. Love is the pacesetter.
Our understanding of time itself is from the love of knowledge, and not a fear of the unknown. The past will always get further and further away, and the future will always come one heartbeat at a time...

While fear has relentless convincing thoughts from worry to evict it, love separates from reason and looks to the heart to be away from fear. Love travels quicker than fear to an unknown source, up a direct energy feed that links electrical bio-energy in the heart and the brain, then back into the heart for safekeeping. Away from the dark energy associated with fear and still able to surround fear with the influence of positively charged ideas. And so we can instantly act with kindness and compassion without thought. This is what someone might use to limit or turn off fear to save your life, should the need ever arise. When love is increased, fear can be decreased. In turn, when fear is increased it tends to flow or outlet with anger and overflow with hatred, and supercharge into violence. Similarly, most acts of violence are also without thought. Sadly, this is what someone might use to end your life.
Through time, explorers have risked their lives without fear, but with the love of discovery. Either sailing across an ocean (with monsters) on a flat world or traveling through space, love must overcome fear to progress forward. The reason we consider a path of life, or life as a journey is because we progress forward. Memories are in still pictures, we remember actions but view them one frame at a time. Life is in motion with time. The future is naturally forward.
The depth of love and fear are as equally endless as the depth of our imagination. We have yet to understand or appreciate the real dynamics of energy, either in the human body or across our galaxy. The tiny distance energy travels in the brain allows thinking, learning, understanding, communicating, retaining, and not to forget theorizing the dynamics of energy. It will likely be our love for knowledge that will allow us this wisdom, and not a fear of it.
Wisdom might only begin by ending the war between love and fear within. As emotional beings, we will only understand ourselves and the universe with emotion, and not without it.
With honesty, we can openly show the emotions that influence the ideas and thoughts we have. We are born with emotions and act on their behalf each day. As in any war, love will make peace, and honesty will deliver it...
