Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn’t like jam if it didn’t, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn’t like truth if it wasn’t sticky, if, from time to time, it didn’t ooze blood. ~ Jean Baudrillard

It all changed when I realized I’m not the only one on the planet who’s scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, “Are you scared, too?” “You bet your sweet life I am.” “Aha, so that’s the way it is for you, too.” We were all in the same boat. That’s probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, “Who else feels like this?” the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way. ~ Stan Dale
