Great post.
Curiosity, doubt and questioning things is at the "heart" of caring, seeking, embracing and embodying truth about reality and ourselves:
Truth doesn't speak for itself, so we have to speak the truth and get the message out. People indeed fear the unknown, as it's an admittance of a lack of comprehension, and this fear evokes anxiety, discomfort, insecurity, confusion from that doubt in not knowing. But that is the opportunity to use that doubt, and start to question things more and develop a burning curiosity to seek truth.
Also, there is a typo here:
"slipping father into debt and inequality"
Thanks. Take care. Peace. Upvoted.
