Fear vs. Love

Fear... defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. This word changes meaning in entirety once you step in Gotham. Here I was born and raised ,in the city which is notorious for the highest crime rates and death tolls. A city in eternal chaos.

Love... an intense feeling of deep affection. There is some traces of love in the city. It is the one emotion that is hard to feel around here. No on trusts anyone, but how can you build a relationship without trust. Everything we do for someone is because of love but theres a reason for why all of Gothams inhabitants are selfish.

When we were young we read fairytales of damsels in distress and the prince who swept her off her feet. "Love conquers all" they said. Maybe it true, but it just doesnt happen like that here. Love is a word that gives the people of Gotham hope. It means more than it's six letter Oxford definition. Fear is the word that crushes all of us Gothamites, it makes us believe we have no chance of love. That we either control everyone through fear or live ruled by it. These words are the most important aspects of Gotham. To me Gotham is just a war of Fear vs. Love...
