| The only thing to fear is FEAR!
|

|
I know that most of us have heard this expression. How many of us actually take the time to think about what this means? When we do first experience the concept of fear? Do you remember the first time you were afraid? Today, I can't believe the type of environment that is trying to be nourished in this country and around the world. It's basically a world of fear. Now why is that? Here is my analysis.
One of the only ways one human can literally control another human is through fear. I've seen a perfectly functional person go from living without fear and living in the now to living in fear everyday and living in the past and future. That person is me. When I was a teenager, I felt pretty fearless. I would do things that would take me to the brink of death, without the fear of it ever happening. I did things in school that would get me kicked out, but I was never afraid of the school. As I think back, I did a lot of things that could have put me in the grave, one way or the other, but obviously I never did. I wasn't afraid of anything and everything I wanted was happening. Then I found fear. I could go on and make an entire book out of this but I am just going to leave the cliff notes.
I've realized that fear is stronger than any emotion and can control a person more than any drug. It can overtake you and consume you within a matter of a second. It can turn a perfectly good kid into an animal and a healthy adult into a mental patient. I know that each of us knows the two parts that we each have. One exists in joy, the other in fear. It's basically that simple. Some people think you might be insane if you do not live in fear at least some times. As we are raised in this country in this period of time, we live in a world of fear. Take time out each day and put a check on a piece of paper and count uphow many times the idea of fear comes into your mind. I'm talking anything that changes your mood from that of happiness to that of something else. You might be amazed at how many time this happens in one day. Maybe you say you only did a couple of times. If so, I applaud you and recognize that you are elightened. As for the rest of us, we live in fear and we think about it a lot.
Do we get to choose whether we live in fear or not? My answer is yes. If you want to think about something that scares you, you are the one that thinks about it. When someone lives daily in fear, not only does their life usually turn into that fear, but they start to die. It's a proven fact that stress is triggered by fear, and stress causes high blood pressure, among other things, and basically the more we do it, the faster we die. I don't think anyone is going to argue with that. I like to think about what this world would be like without fear? What do you think. Let your mind wander and if you want to, drop me a post.
So how do we overcome living our life in fear? First, we have to realize that we choose to live that way and think about things that put us in fear. Second is realizing that the end result of everything is death. Life changes and the world changes but the one thing that stays constant is death. If you can overcome that fear, that is how you live without fear. Feel comfortable in it, realize it, and accept it. You will feel much better when you do. Let me know what you have to say about fear.

Our Govt is using fear as a control agent, I couldnt believe the add on the tv the other day with the kids, and being asked if my children know what to do in case of a terroist attack..Made me think back to the Bomb shelter days. We have become a nation of sheep, we cant think or stand up for our selves anymore, we let the punks on the street get away with everything, We actually believe the govt is telling the truth, we let the schools get a way with allowing the social elite and bullies to drive kids to the breaking point, worst of all we let fear take away our common sence and do nothing to stop it..Another good post !!!!

Wayne,
Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree with you. Fear is also the reason we are not doing anything about what is happening. I guess we would rather live in fear and consider that comfortable than fight back and get the lives and the country we all came here for and we deserve.

Wow. DEEP post!
I agree with you because I'd started fearing something a few months ago. My mind knew that I was scared and that made things worse.
You've got to relax and get the better of that "fear". I really like this post.
