“Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” — Bertrand Russell Fear is used to control - by bullies, bosses and governments. The reverse of fear is self-confidence, trust in your own ability to control yourself and your circumstances. We made this pin to inspire and heal, to build confidence and strength with the reminder that who you are is destroyed by the things you fear.
