“Hope and Fear”
I've always believed that… especially when you love something or somebody so much you have to experience fear, unless you have a lot of faith. If you love your kids you don't want them to get hurt, or if you love your wife, you don't want her to get hurt or you don't want her to leave, You don't want her to die… you love so much that you're afraid. And the only way to get rid of that fear is to trust in something else that something else is going to take care that those things aren't going to happen or if they do they're simply planned.
