This book seeks to help people become aware that many times, past experiences that were negative often influence our current thoughts and expected future experiences. It seems this is true, and it is a trap for people who are wearing these 'glasses' to see new things. The book does, indeed, say that love is letting go of fear, in the sense that this fear is the expectation that one will relive or re-experience negative experiences. If one lets go of that expectation, it is easier to see things as they really are, without expectations, in a child-like manner. I thought the book was sweet and well intended and one can feel the hope of the author. I encourage people to read this, if they need reminders that the present or future is not necessarily dependent on the past.
