The Root Cause of Fear (A Zen and Taoist Perspective)
It's a myth
(you wouldn't admit)
that others you fear-
the very truth
is that yourself
you fear and dread
and have projected
it outside
your restless world
thus, the wrong narrative
you alone have created-
a moral mistake-
know then:
the root
of your every fear
is your self
being over-indulged
and exaggerated
if that were detached
you'd find your freedom
and peace-
the false, the undesired
and the absurd
would have been
totally discarded
