Hypotheses The danger of making hypotheses In our everyday lives  Is that we often bend reality [contort / convolute / knead / nuance/ filter / fragment] To meet our expectations  Fulfill our desires Align with our hopes Satisfy our dreams And substantiate our fears 

Fear vs Danger by Pratibha Anand Understand That fear  Is not synonymous  With danger  Learn  To sense and t o know  The difference  Between the two.  Remember  That every step t aken  In Fear  Is a step t aken  Towards greater Freedom.  In many ways,  Fear is simply the oyster shell, The layer, the mask, the disguise Keeping you f rom seeing  The pearl of Freedom  It contains within.
