Teach, Learn, Share

Fears are the main sources which shape our behaviours. Fear of lack of affection, material needs (such as food, clothes, shelter,) and social acceptation mostly. Those elements make us being slaves of ourself.

Training our mind could start dealing and overpassing those fears to be free and benevolent. Doing this training, we could think about one important cause of suffering : the habit we have to divide the world in "I" and "Others".
The "I" include images of "myself", "my" things and "my" person.
To start: What do "I" have in common with "others" ?
