I'd like to see you develop this idea. What is it about Fear and Faith that makes them opposites?

Why is fear the opposite of anything? What is water the opposite of? It is simply a form of a particular kind of matter. Fear is a particular kind of passion, and the opposite of passion is indifference.

We are not indifferent, or we would not be here. We have many passions, fear among them. Fear is one of the most corrosive. It saps our will, and clouds our thinking. This is why it makes such a dandy control tool. This is why we must learn to neutralize it and why we must teach others to neutralize it.

The knowledge is there, within each of us. Let's dig deeper.
