We live in an age of such fear. Children are taught to be afraid of everything. I saw a flying fish jumping out of the water yesterday. What majesty and athleticism they display for the small time they are alive. Their joy in being free. The children had to leave the water. The parents were screaming to their children to not go near this perilous beast. We 're teaching fear of happiness from an early age. We 're never to experience any joy in case it hurts us.
Our age is one if plenty but we're more afraid now than we've ever been.
