Restoration:
A Solution to Fear


by Darris McNeely

While recently watching a documentary on the life of former U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt, I learned something I never realized about the man. I knew the famous line he gave at his first inaugural, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." This has gone down as the trademark slogan from his presidency. I also knew that polio struck him in the prime of life and that he never walked again.

What I didn't know about was the depression he struggled with while coping with his disability. I learned that he mastered his fear through this period of suffering. When he spoke those words to a nation in the grip of an economic and social depression in 1934, he spoke from an intense personal experience that defined his adult life. While fighting polio and rebuilding his life, he learned to overcome fear and increase courage.

America and other parts of the world need a dose of courage at this time in history as they face the fallout from terrorism and the efforts to combat world terror.

Recent weeks have brought out an unpleasant fact of American life. For several weeks two crazed snipers shot unsuspecting men and women around the suburbs of Washington, D.C. A fog of fear caught and held millions of people during the time when law enforcement officials were conducting one of the most intensive manhunts in the country's history. Civic activities were canceled and men, women and children altered their routines until the two killers were finally apprehended.
