We fear because we want what’s outside our power, or we’re too attached to something that’s not in our power to keep. We’re attached to people we love and fear losing them. We’re attached to the security of a regular salary. And we desire what’s not in our power to receive. We must stop attaching ourselves to external things and desires which are not under our control. Because a lack of control leads to fear. He who does not desire anything outside his control cannot be anxious.
