I posed this question on my
blog hoping that I'd gain insight by writing it out, but no such luck. Have any of you struggled with this, too?
I see how being free from your fears can empower you. One thing I can't resolve yet, however, is if you can be unafraid of everything, even death, why is life valuable? Why should I care about myself or other people if I become selfless enough that I'm unafraid of death? My motivation for becoming fearless is to be free to do whatever I want and to help other people with that power. But if it "doesn't matter" if I die or others die, then that motivation becomes meaningless.
I think I'm looking at it from the wrong perspective.
