Fear, and a poem

*"The result of ubiquitous paranoia is not disbelief. It is credulity."* My friend pulled this quote OUT particularly, and this was my answer:
That's what I couldn't understand from seemingly logical people, how the fearful got to be believing anything. I could see this was all marketing and psychological manipulation, but I couldn't see why they would listen to liars.
Since accounting only taught me where to examine for "d@mn lies, and statistics", and library science reference interview skills taught me how to find the source fears, now I'm trying pastoral counseling education to treat the fears.
Facts haven't changed enough people from hurting others. Maybe the theurgical, universal focus of a mystical and spiritual based faith can. I have to keep trying, I do believe people *can* be better to each other than those loudmouths.
"Me ani?" - Who am I in an English transliteration of the Hebrew...
"I'm summing columns", says the para-accountant, "of debits and credits that are not balancing the books." 💼💲💰💸📔📝
"Shhhh", says the library technical assistant, "because in a silence to process, maybe we can find answers". 📘📜📚📰📖📑📒
"LOVE, for we are all One, and by rejecting anyone else, we are rejecting another unique way of seeing, One" says the rabbinic pastor student. 💜🙏🌈🌐💞🔯🙌🌙
