We can be a danger to ourselves, yet others can harm us. Yet if we lash out with hatred or violence, if we make war on ourselves or each other, we generate more fear, reactivity and suffering. Freeing ourselves from this trance of fear and alienation becomes possible only as we respond to our vulnerability with a wise heart.
