My fluffy friends, those who have had many more years of therapy than I have had, are quick to tell me that feelings and emotions are not to be judged and that there are no right and wrong feelings. Feelings just are. But I am as judgmental as I can possibly be of white fear. It is an illegitimate political emotion that has done no good that I can think of, and more harm than it is humanly possible to tally. To say it in terms that the “all lives matter” crowd might understand, all fears matter, but some fears are treated as though they matter more.
