Culture of Courage

C. Haddock Frank

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Fear is an alien to our life, and never a friend. The real friend is reason, acting amid harmonic conditions. When you are threatened by some hostile force or event, reason tries to induce self-protection, but you know no real fear if you are saturated with the feeling of harmony. You may believe it is fear that seeks your self - protection. But your reason can do precisely the same thing without fear. Fear is, then, only an extra, a distressing extra, foisted in front Of reason. You are invited now to live the white life, to cast fear out, and to make real reason its substitute. By so much you will add immeasurably to personal com fort and power. Love and reason alone can take care of man, so far as his own efforts are concerned. In properly blended proportions these constitute the very life Of courage. What conceivable service then, can fear render any man or woman? If you desire panic and distress, let imagination fill your soul with fears. But if peace, happiness, health and power be your desires, live the white life and hold fast only to reason.
