Hi
Interesting topic.I think a lot of people are frightened of tomorrow but I wonder how many would be more scared if tomorrow wasn't coming.

Exactly. It defies the laws of the world, but we are not of this world.

The last line is a beauty
What we give away we paradoxically get to keep.

Avant-Garde,
I read your posts like poetry, over and over, searching each word for multiple layers of meaning. Courage is being defenseless...in paradoxes truth often resides. I believe that, and that overcoming anxiety is simply becoming comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty, yet giving myself over to the mystery of the day, and the safety net of God.

Well, perhaps it is good for you to get a break from being browbeaten.

I think stability will now return because the International community especially the USA does not want them to become a safe heaven for Terrorists. I also want thank you for regularly reading me. GOD Bless.

This is great....
"as a terror stricken mind conceives that a defense is necessary." Well said!

You have it. In tending to what is there, tomorrow takes care of itself.

Courage is standing with truth. To those who oppose the thought system truth espouses, it does appear offensive.

You're right. They are contrasting states of being, but mutually exclusive.

I try...
to think less about tomorrow and to concentrate more on today...maybe for a better tomorrow.

If courage is the absence of defense, does that mean it is constituted primarily by offense? I enjoyed this.
