    Maria Shriver was quoting that from Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. It's actually very ironic how this statement got picked up by the feminist movement becuase it's the first line of an article in a historical journal that's all about well-behaved women in the Colonial Era.

    How about, without morality, anyone will give way to fear?
    If you had one leg being pulled by reality, and one leg being pulled by spirituality, where would that leave you, huh?

    It does, if you understand that "fear" drives us as humans.

    The fear of going hungry. The fear of not having money to "live". The fear or death. Of failure. Of unacceptance. Of love..or not being loved. And so on....

    Speak for yourself. My morality is not driven by fear, but by love.
    Alright
    Tap the lightpole and we'll be jammin all night
    And ain't nobody callin' the cops
    'Cause everybody's here freakin', if they're older they're doin the rock
    And every block from all around
    Comes runnin' to the park when they hear the sound
    And soon the word's spreadin' through our part of town
    "Yo, 40 Park y'all, Jam-On's gettin down"
    Yeah...

    I don't know, Wendy... I tend to believe that love is truth, and fear is not... and not necessarily existing in the world of opposites, where everything has to have the "other side".

    But, I think I might understand what you guys are trying to say about fear...

    My sense of morality (to me) comes from love, also.

    "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."

    "...But it is amazing how childishly gullible humans are. There are, for example, so many different religions — each of them claiming to have the truth, each saying that their truths are clearly superior to the truths of others — how can someone possibly take any of them seriously? I mean, that's insane. ...Though I sometimes call myself a crypto-Buddhist, Buddhism is not a religion. Of those around at the moment, Islam is the only one that has any appeal to me. But, of course, Islam has been tainted by other influences. The Muslims are behaving like Christians, I'm afraid."...

    "Any path to knowledge is a path to God — or Reality, whichever word one prefers to use."...

    "The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion."...

    "I'm sure the universe is full of intelligent life. It's just been too intelligent to come here."
