I don't want to go to the basement, dad.
It's scary.
I'm like, what do you mean it's scary?
Get down there.

So we create a very antagonistic denial relationship with fear.

I feel it.
I'm okay with being scared.

Mahatma Gandhi, you know, amazing individuals.
Before he started his political career, he was a lawyer in London.
He was terrified of public speaking.
When he went for his first case in front of a judge, he froze.
He couldn't speak.
He just couldn't speak.
