Fear (#6)
Its amazing the effect fear has on people. In my opinion fear is the most abundent psychological resource on the human mind.
Fear causes people to be afraid, hate, love, have courage, and many other traits. You may not think this is true. How can this be?
(lets take a hypothetical sistuations that are common)
I Hate that guy because he acts mean to me!
You only hate him because you fear him. Ever come upon someone you dont know and you just hate him and you dont know why? Well thats your inner mind saying dont trust this person because you dont know him/her. You usually hate him because of fear, and you fear him because you dont know him/her.
I love her because shes nice and compassionate.
You love her because you dont hate her. That seems obvious but most people cannot use common sense to understand that. You dont hate her because you dont fear her. Obvious. But the part of comprehending is this. Why dont you fear her? Because she has traits (nice, compassionate, loving, whatever) you like and are aware of, that seem right to you.
You go on a roller coaster even though your afraid of heights.
You usually have to have a reason to do something your afraid of. Once you find that reason you decuct whether you will do this thing or not, you execute the objective. So you go on this roller coaster even though your scared shitless. Usually you do something you fear to impress someone else or to achieve a higher level of an objective. No matter what that objective is, if you have the almighty will to do it, You will.
Your afraid of the dark.
Most people say their not afraid of the dark, and then i like to test them by shutting down the power and watching the lights go off. Whats the first thing they do? Go for a light, or try too. Being afraid of something whether its the dark or anything, is only because you dont know what is there and/or you dont know how to deal with it. You are only afraid because you cant understand it.
To overcome fear you must become fear.
All that means is basically understanding the other side of the sun of fear and execute the saying; you never know till you try. Dont judge before you have been that which you fear. Once you become that which you fear, you will understand the complexities of it and be able to tolerate it at the very least.
Fear causes so many things, the multitude cannot understand. Only the people who question and truly dig for the answers, can figure out the meaning behind the shaded glass wall. Once you break it and pass through it, you can find what you are (and thats really all questioning is).
Double Quote~Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970), Unpopular Essays (1950), "Outline of Intellectual Rubbish"
Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive person. Dr. David M. Burns
