“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
– Plato
Fear is a liar. It seeps into the cracks between thoughts and bends them just enough to make reality worth fleeing. When a horse freezes or spooks at a plastic bag fluttering in the wind, it seems justifiable to chastise him for such a dumb response to something so innocuous. But… imagine what the horse thinks when we react irrationally to the esoteric fears that send us reeling in terror.
“Distilled to its purest form, the bond between a horse and his human is this: the human’s brain lets the horse know he has nothing to fear; the horse’s heart returns the favor.”
