In this episode of Rowing with the Homies, “Only I Will Remain,” I explore whether the goal of life is to eliminate fear or to face it and let that struggle define what truly matters. Drawing from the "Litany Against Fear" from Frank Herbert's Dune, I examine fear as a compass: an internal guide pointing toward our deepest values and hardest work. I connect this idea to modern cultural anxiety, political outrage, and the crisis of masculinity, showing how avoidance of fear fuels much of today’s chaos. Through reflecting on both collective behavior and my own experience with depression, I explore courage, acceptance, and the disciplined work required to move through fear and emerge more whole.
