Society & Culture
During times of crisis the fear demon gets stoked by the professional deceivers. The divisions along cultural, racial, gender, and religious friction points become particularly pronounced. We are all susceptible to burying parts of our character that we find unacceptable. But if we don't accept the shadow, it becomes too big to control. Only in unconditional acceptance of the imperfect human condition, and self-love of all aspects of the personality can grow the seeds of tolerance and compassion.
