A tik tok persists: seek pleasure, avoid pain; seek pleasure, avoid pain; seek pleasure, avoid pain. Without intervention, we are at the whim of chemicals and experiences—ineradicable by any flavor of obsession.</p> <p>Fear is strong.</p> <p>And “Don’t be afraid.” is an interesting phrase. It’s a lot like “Don’t be hungry.” when you just ate. This application of logic is a popular technique but logic is the language of neither stomachs nor sentiment. Stomachs speak food. Fear speaks attention.</p> <p>Fear and those like it are indelible. Distraction placates symptoms but to treat the cause requires confrontation. “Don’t be afraid.” is to turn a blind eye. “Don’t be afraid.” is a rejection—which a heart does not take laying down.</p> <p>Fear is strong but people are stronger.</p> <p>“Be brave.” is a different animal. “Be brave.” is the ability to understand that while it may not be known why a fear exists—it does. “Be brave.” feeds the growling of your heart. “Be brave.” is to stand beside a fear, acknowledge its struggle, and propose collaboration and care. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em (and this is one you sure can’t win).</p> <p>Fear speaks attention. Be afraid, but then be brave.</p> </blockquote>http://stolemyshoes.com/post/16856803307http://stolemyshoes.com/post/16856803307Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:03:06 -0800<iframe width="400" height="323" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o6WKE4aYgOw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://stolemyshoes.com/post/573937505/they-might-be-giants-birdhouse-in-your-soul-live">sam</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6WKE4aYgOw">They Might Be Giants: Birdhouse In Your Soul (Live on The Tonight Show 4/3/1990)</a></p> <p>Accompanied by Doc Severinsen and the Tonight Show Band.
