We humans are eternal spiritual beings who are destined to choose to leave fear-based living behind and then choose to learn how to love ourselves unconditionally. Once we do that, we can expand our ability to love so that we love other humans, then all life forms and finally all that is.
There is little joy or power in being fearful but plenty of both when love-focused.
Society focuses on keeping us fearful so that others, like the powerful and vastly-rich can easily control us for their benefit, not outs. No one can control a human who loves themselves unconditionally. The powerful and vastly-rich fear us instead.
