Living Faith in a Culture of Fear: Love as the Key to a Culture of Connection

Authors

  • Martha Ellen Strotz

Fear carves a path of self-destruction. Fear of not being lovable grounds the seemingly contradictory vices of pride and self-negation. Pride needs endless adulation to counter what arrogance most fears: "I'm really worthless." If there is a unity of the virtues, it is love.
