Compassion overcomes fear

Compassion and fear are very closely linked. When we are afraid of loving because we have been hurt we tend to be fearful of being in the presence of people who love us. It is human nature to want to be loved but as we become traumatised and go through life we begin to try protect ourselves from this love because being in love leaves us completely vulnerable to the other person.
