Anyone who IS afraid of the future should snap out of it. Don't "fear" it, prepare for what lies ahead and what may be required of you to make it the future you want, not the future the Statists want to impose on you.
"...with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Fear and defeatism are not options. It's OUR turn now!!
“Don’t ‘fear’ it, prepare for what lies ahead and what may be required of you to make it the future you want”
People have this notion that “fear” necessarily refers to destructive irrationality. There’s no reason it can’t be reconciliable with optimistic rational self-interest. Well, obviously not perfectly optimistic, but falling somewhere on the brighter side of the sliding scale of optimism.
