There is fear of what happened yesterday in relation to the possibility of its repetition tomorrow; there is always a fixed point from which relationship takes place. How does fear come into this? I had pain yesterday; there is the memory of it and I do not want it again tomorrow. Thinking about the pain of yesterday, thinking which involves the memory of yesterday’s pain, projects the fear of having pain again tomorrow. So it is thought that brings about fear. Thought breeds fear; thought also cultivates pleasure. To understand fear you must also understand pleasure – they are interrelated; without understanding one you cannot understand the other. This means that one cannot say ‘I must only have pleasure and no fear’; fear is the other side of the coin which is called pleasure.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jiddu Krishnamurti" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jiddu-krishnamurti/fear-is-always-in-relation-to-something-it-does-not-exist-by-itself/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d5c/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_fear_fear-is-always-in-relation-to-something_1226222.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d5c/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_fear_fear-is-always-in-relation-to-something_1226222.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d5c/jiddu-krishnamurti-249_fear_fear-is-always-in-relation-to-something_1226222.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Fear is always in relation to something; it does not exist by itself.

We are concerned with whether the outcaste should enter the temple or not; we want to break down this particular caste, and in the very breaking down of one caste we create another, a “superior” caste; so we remain prisoners, and there is no freedom in prison. Freedom lies outside the walls, outside the pattern of society; but to be free of that pattern you have to understand the whole content of it, which is to understand your own mind. It is the mind that has created the present civilization, this tradition-bound culture or society and, without understanding your own mind, merely to revolt as a communist, a socialist, this or that, has very little meaning. That is why it is very important to have self-knowledge, to be aware of all your activities, your thoughts and feelings; and this is education, is it not?
