静心录: Fear and Love

Fear and Love

春节大年夜去了纽约，有兴致排队看了一场百老汇show《A Bronx tale》，讲一个意大利boy在Bronx 成长的故事，其中父亲对儿子讲到fear 和love 的感受建立relationship 的不同，社会上的以fear而建立的群体，就如意大利黑帮，这对于生活成长在Bronx的boy是必修课。看了以后回想中国的长大环境，fear 和love 的概念从来分不清，打是疼，骂是爱是最common对love的解释，以fear来达到love，虐爱啊，很多人分不清fear or love在感受和行为上的区别。
but, no fear in love!

Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities , which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior...

Love is a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person. : attraction that includes sexual desire : the strong affection felt by people who have a romantic relationship. : a person you love in a romantic way.

Fear and love

---Morcheeba

We always have a choice
Or at least I think we do
We can always use our voice
I thought this to be true
We can live in fear
Extend our selves to love
We can fall below
Or lift our selves above

Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear

I always try so hard
To share my self around
But now I'm closing up again
Drilling through the ground

Fear can stop you loving
Love can stop your fear
Fear can stop you loving
But it's not always that clear

I'd love to give my self away
But I find it hard to trust
I've got no map to find my way
Amongst these clouds of dust

Fear can…

No fear in love

Stir in me a love that’s deep

A love that’s wide, a love that’s sweet

And help me, Lord, to never keep it to myself

And if my heart should dimly burn

And if my feet should fail to run

Call my name and I will come right back to You

'Cause there’s no fear in love

And there’s no fear in love

So stir in me a love that’s deep
