Now, is it possible not to be hurt at all? because the consequences of being hurt are the building of a wall around oneself, withdrawing in one's relationship with others in order not to be hurt more. in that there is fear and a gradual isolation. now, we are asking: is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?

More From Jiddu Krishnamurti

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Fear keeps us rooted in the past. fear of the unknown, fear of abandonment, fear of rejection, fear of not having enough, fear of not being enough, fear of the future-all these fears and more keep us trapped, repeating the same old patterns and making the same choices over and over again. fear prevents us from moving outside the comfort-or even the familiar discomfort-of what we know. it's nearly impossible to achieve our highest vision for our lives as long as we are being guided by our fears.
Fear Moving Past
Studying the buddha way is studying oneself. studying oneself is forgetting oneself. forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. no trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.
Self Mind Enlightenment
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. fear of not being liked. fear of making the wrong choice. fear of drawing negative attention. fear of overreaching. fear of being judged. fear of failure. and the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.

The spiritual differs from the religious in being able to endure isolation. the rank of a spiritual person is proportionate to his strength for enduring isolation, whereas we religious people are constantly in need of 'the others,' the herd. we religious folks die, or despair, if we are not reassured by being in the assembly, of the same opinion as the congregation, and so on. but the christianity of the new testament is precisely related to the isolation of the spiritual man.

In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. we make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. but after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. in a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. they must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly

The average man does not want to be free. he simply wants to be safe.
Freedom Men Average
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
Freedom Lying Heart
I think that it is high time that we remembered that we have sworn to uphold and defend the constitution. i think that it is high time that we remembered that the constitution, as amended, speaks not only of the freedom of speech but also of trial by jury instead of trial by accusation.
Thinking Freedom Of Speech Trials
The man hunched over his motorcycle can focus only on the present... he is caught in a fragment of time cut off from both the past and the future... he has no fear, because the source of fear is in the future, and a person freed of the future has nothing to fear.
