Fear leads to....

A thought crossed my mind. Something I heard. "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering." ~ Yoda. Yeah it looks funny that I quote Yoda, but it's definitely a true statement. If you think about it properly, it's very unnatural to hate anyone. Because just think about it. When you hate a person, you feel so uncomfortable, so it's not a natural thing. And we all want to stop our suffering. So how do we do this? Attack the root-cause, side-kick here, roundhouse kick there, and the final punch. Boo-yeah!.. haha.. 
Yeah, I wish it was as easy as attacking a physically alive entity. But it's not. Anger is so subtle, and in order to attack it, we have to do it subtly too I reckon. Humility could be seen as one of the ways of subtly attacking the anger, but, till when can we keep it up. Society is so polluted that they'll just take advantage of those who are humble, only when they die, are their pure qualities truly appreciated. Gosh, do you really have to wait until they die? Did you ever have the experience that you did something, and then when you see someone else doing the same, only then you notice their struggles, or other attempts? you know right? Well, that's how it is. no? We should at least try to be humble and attack the subtle anger, and then you never know, you might meet someone who also has the same struggles as you. That's the whole thing about all those blog sites.. We feel that if we share our pain or frustrations, they might somehow lessen.. Maybe it's true.. that's why we have the phenomena 'friends' .. but till when can you rely on that. Be a friend to yourself.. Maybe that'll work.. :).. Be proud of you, what your parents or friends were supposed to be for you. Love yourself, how others would do for you. Because ultimately we love something deeper inside.. Much deeper than just a body.. Deeper than just a heart. If we were able to attack anger.. Fear still lies there.. As the root root cause. That root will be destroyed by the love we give to the One deeper embedded in us than our hearts..
