paralizar

Pero a veces, ante grandes tragedias, nos paralizamos.	But sometimes, before great tragedies, we freeze.
La principal razón para hacer esto es que nos paralizamos por el miedo a lo Desconocido.	The main reason to do this is because we've become paralyzed by our fears of the Unknown.
Pero es un problema complejo y a veces se nos hace tan grande e incomprensible, que nos paralizamos y no sabemos por dónde empezar.	But it's a complex problem and sometimes we get so big and incomprehensible that we get paralysed and don't know where to start.
Para ser libres debemos tomar conciencia de las advertencias que han hecho los grandes marxistas de la historia, pero si nos limitamos a ellas nos paralizamos en el justo momento en que podemos ser libres.

Nos paralizamos, temerosos de lo que somos, desesperados por ser mejores, pero petrificados por la idea de los sacrificios requeridos para lograrlo.	We stand still, afraid of who we are, desperate to be better, but petrified at the sacrifices to be made in order to become better.
