9:41p - FEAR
We need to change our ways of thinking in order to be better beings in the universe.
MEDO
At all times we are controlled by our fears.
Most fears comes from voices there are brainwashed in our minds by society, that is how we ignore the true voice of our hearts.
From a very young age we are trained to have fear and be controlled by “people in power”. I believe to be very wise to learn from others experiences, to have common sense, but be very careful not to become a sheep that follow orders without knowing, or even worst, ASKING why.
When we were kids our parents would say: - ‘Don’t touch fire, or you will get burn and be in a lot of pain. ’Or – ‘Don’t walk close to the edge of a cliff, you may fall over and die.’ That is how we learned to fear fire and heights, with at first sound like a good idea to keep children in control for their own safety.
But here is the catch, you don’t have to fear fire or heights, or you don’t have to put your hand in the fire to kwon if its true that you will get burn, you can light a candle or walk close to a cliff and enjoy the view, just be careful, respect this forces of nature but don’t be afraid.
Because of fear we are controlled in many everyday choices in our lives, it may be in the choice of food or clothes, in work and with friends. We are afraid to take risk, but what is a risk??? There are many choices in life, many good choices or even bad choices but you can learn from your experience, but fear makes these choices into a risk that you don’t want to take, scare of the unknown or the changes that these choices may bring.
To fear something is not bad at all. We can learn and improve ourselves by facing these fears.
I think the biggest fear most people have is the fear of not belonging, the fear that they are not part of something, to think that because you don’t belong is because you are not special in some way, that you not part of something so you nothing. People like this don’t have just fear, they have low self-esteem, and they let themselves be influenced by others for the brief fake promise of happiness or importance.
If you are not happy how you are, with yourself, you will not be happy by changing superficial aspects of your life. You must be happy from within.
I don’t blame television, religion or society for the ways most people carry on being controlled, it is your own fault with you let yourself be influenced by this things. Watch TV, have faith in your religion, go out shopping and whatever else but do it because that what you want to do by your own decision, not because you are suppose to, not because that is what everybody else do.
Money is a big fear for most people. I don’t have nothing against money, before coins were introduced to society, people would exchange goods, so money and coins made everything easier for the exchange of goods. It a good system really, but we have a big problem when it comes to money issues, CAPITALISM, the big evil monster destroying everything on the way. We are controlled by capitalism; we are killing ourselves and the planet for money.
I must advice anyone not to suppress their fears or feelings, by doing so you may create a time bomb getting strong everyday just waiting for a time when it will, BOOM, explode or come back to haunt you in the future.
Anger and sadness are feeling that most people don’t really understand. We are told that this feeling are bad feelings, and to a certain extend they are, but everyone must learn how to express this feeling in a positive constructive way. Don’t keep this feeling inside you, express them without any violence, be calm and talk about it. Learn something positive from the whole experience, make yourself a better person. Don’t let your anger and sadness become fears that will make life even harder for you and others around you.
My biggest fear is expressing myself, being social and just talking to people, I am very quite at all times, I like to think that I am quite because I want to, but really I sometimes very scare to talk to people and say something that I may regret later. I don’t really kwon why I act this way most of the times. When I want to be social and friendly I do a good job, but that’s very rare.
I have been facing my fear. I am learning from myself.
