If someone instills fear in you, telling you to do something, you give them power by acting on behalf of their will.
Sounds very much why religion was invented. Instilling fear into people for control.
When you concur fear of death and understand it's a transformation of existence, not a ceaseation of existence, there really is nothing to fear.
Says who? There is no proof of this. It's just wishful thinking. Plain and simple.
People live in fear of judgement and punishment and consequently give up their capacity to choose things theirself.
And that's a bad thing? We get rid of law and order? Remove discipline? Ban rules?
Example: How am I suppose to discipline my 18 month old son without his fear of punishment? Such as taking his favourite toy away if he misbehaves.
We drive on the left here in UK roads. What if everyone chose to ignore the rules and just did what they pleased. Some drove on left, some on right. It just wouldn't work.
If you ask me, most problems in this world seem to stem from people thinking they can do what the hell they like.
Are we not equal? How so? You're a conscious being, I'm a conscious being, a flea's a conscious being, we're all equal. Yes, we are at different stages of evolution, but how does one nonsubjectively judge the superiority of different parts of the same creation? You can create an illusion of superiority in your reality, but everyone else will look at you the same, equal.
We wasn't talking about being equal in that sense. What we mean is there are always people that are more physically endowed than others, mentally endowed than others, financially endowed than others.
