Mikaela Shiffrin, the champion skier, just said something profound on an interview.
She overcame a knee injury recently and still won many downhill races.
She said (paraphrased), "Love makes you overcome fear. I fear pain. I fear injury. But my love for skiing compels me."
Reminds me of:
"...Perfect love casts out fear..."
"The love of Christ compels us..."

Just read an article about how a normally intelligent, rational person was duped out of $50k. The scammers used:
Fear
Urgency
Isolation
The problem is that even good legitimate leaders and organizations, without ill intent, often use the same.
Do we need to be coerced to do good or to give?
Is there an alternative?
Am I the first to ding this?
