Seen and Unseen Pain causes different reactions
Has anyone ever asked you what you're afraid of? I've been asked, and I've seen people ask that question of others in movies. I don't usually ask that question, because I figure if they wanted to deal with it, they'd start that conversation without my provocation. I don't like to pry. I think about fears more than I probably should and I think that's because a large portion of Generation X would wear t-shirts that read "No Fear" or put that bumper sticker on their POS cars. That's not me. I have plenty of fears. I'm not a hypochondriac and some have even called me "brave" for the ability to address a fear and face it sometimes. After having done that many times, I realized that though I could face a fear, maybe even conquer it to some degree (like my fear of heights doesn't stop me from going up in an airplane or up to the top floor of a skyscraper), fear remains a part of me. People do not respect fear. They respect courage. Yet I've witnessed more foolishness and dangerous behavior occur in the name of courage, not fear. So my conclusion is this: lovers and seekers of wisdom have a healthy relationship and respect for fear. Fear as a personality is the first to mention "danger" and knowing that something is "dangerous" is a key to wisdom.

Why Every Woman Deserves Respectful Maternity Care
Introduction: A Universal Right Childbirth is one of the most transformative moments in a woman’s life, but for many women in Ethiopia, this experience is marred by neglect, mistreatment, and the absence of dignity. Despite efforts to improve maternal health, only 32% of births in Ethiopia are attended by skilled professionals, according to the 2022 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). This stark reality underscores the urgent need for respectful maternity care (RMC)—care that honors women’s autonomy, safety, and dignity during childbirth.
