I'm not the architect of your fears! I'm sorry that you have them.

By: Dr. J Emanuel Hodge

I forget
that we live in a time
of malicious intent.
And it is expected.

I’m not the architect of your fears.
I’m sorry that you have them.

Don’t paint me the monster.
Because that’s all you’ve known

I’m not the architect of your fears.
And I’m sorry
that you have them

Your striving inspires me &
fuels me from afar.

Your joy tickles me…

I can’t explain that.

I’m not
the architect
of your fears.
I’m sorry that you have them.

I’m not.
The architect of your fears.
I’m sorry that you have.

It is important to be earnest.
It is important
to be kind.

It is okay,

That we have misunderstandings

Know that you’re not the architect of my fears & I’m sorry that we have them…

I forgive you, Please forgive me too.

As a doctor of Metaphysics and Integrative Therapies, I understand that fear and anxiety can be pervasive in our lives, especially in a world where malicious intent can seem all too common. However, it’s important to recognize that not everyone is trying to harm us and that our own fears and biases can sometimes cloud our judgment and create misunderstandings.

When we approach others with an open mind and a willingness to understand their perspective, we can build trust and rapport, even in challenging situations. It’s important to acknowledge that we are not the architects of other people’s fears and that we cannot control their thoughts or actions. However, we can offer empathy and support, and work towards creating a more positive and inclusive environment.

As an Integrative Therapy expert, I believe in the importance of treating the whole person, including their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. When we work to understand and address the underlying causes of our fears and anxieties, we can begin to heal and move forward. This may involve exploring past experiences or traumas, identifying negative thought patterns, and developing coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety.

At the same time, it’s important to recognize that we all have different experiences and perspectives and that misunderstandings are bound to happen from time to time. Instead of becoming defensive or lashing out, we can strive to be earnest and kind in our interactions with others. This may involve active listening, seeking to understand rather than to be understood, and approaching conflicts with a willingness to find common ground.

When we focus on building positive relationships and understanding one another, we can create a more peaceful and harmonious world, even in the midst of challenging times. By acknowledging our own fears and biases, and working to overcome them, we can help to break down barriers and build bridges of understanding and compassion.

In conclusion, as a Doctor of metaphysics and Integrative Therapies, I believe in the power of empathy, kindness, and understanding to heal and transform our lives. While fear and anxiety can be pervasive in our world, we can work towards creating a more positive and inclusive environment by acknowledging our own biases, striving to understand others, and approaching conflicts with a willingness to find common ground. Remember, we are not the architects of other people’s fears, but we can offer empathy and support as we work towards building a more peaceful and harmonious world.
