“Have you ever wondered what this world would be like if human beings had no fear? Consider how human history might have been altered by the unbridled expansion of a fear free homo-sapiens.

No, not the reckless fearlessness of the common adrenalin junkie, some of whom won’t hesitate to sky dive or go base-jumping, but are terrified of relationships and forty hour work weeks; but rather the calm and dignified fearlessness found among the samurai warrior class and the ancient Spartan culture; a fearlessness that stems first from the keen awareness of our inevitable demise, and secondly from a profound reverence for our bodies as sacred and inviolable vessels of divine purpose.

Would a fear-free world be a better place than this present one, that has been forged in the fires of fear and hatred?
