I think there is a primal fear that allows us to understand our place in nature and in the world. It gives us boundaries and lets us inherit a very ancient wisdom that stays with us across generations.
That wise fear of the countryside did not save me during my childhood when I was walking by a nearby waterfall, and a group of men threw me to the ground, kicked me and stole my belongings.
I do not despise fear. I despise the subjugation and violence that take away our freedom, self-determination and innocence.
