That is why humans resist life. To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggestfear we have
 our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what wereally are. Just being ourselves is the biggest fear of humans. We have learned to live our lives tryingto satisfy other people’s demands. We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because ofthe fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.
