There really are people "out to get us." Yet when we base our lives on those fears, when we let fear consume and narrow our focus, we respond by seeking to control everything around us so that bad stuff doesn't happen to us good people and in the process we squeeze all mystery and all life out of our lives. When we build our lives on love and where love is flowing and leading then we find life welling up and mystery and creativity freed to lead us to new and healing ways to respond to those we fear.
