I don't understand fear. It is so stupid and inadequate, and yet, we all feel it. Most of the time, fear cannot help us achieve anything, and yet, we fail to let go of it.
Do you know that feeling when you just fear to do something extraordinary because [insert your excuse]? However, when people ask you:
"Why are you even afraid?"
There is no logical explanation why are we afraid. I mean, I am often scared of flying on a plane, even though I know that it is probably safer than walking. I still say that I am afraid of crashing, but in reality, I know that the crash is ain't happening. So what the hell is wrong with me?
And we live in constant fear. Some of us are afraid of losing love; others cannot cope with the idea of going broke; others wish to keep their freedom. Ironically, fear of losing freedom is what locks us up. Fear of losing love often leads to loneliness.
And fear of falling can only push us from the edge of the cliff.
The worst thing, we miss out all the beauty in the world when we are living in constant fear. We stop doing things we wish to do because of some random excuses which make no sense. We are afraid of something not real. I mean, it's the sign of insanity in some way, isn't it? Yup, we are all insane.
Only fools and prophets are afraid of the future.
I am only certain that I am not a prophet.
I am also certain that living without fears can only make our lives magnificent. Only when our minds are calm, we can enjoy the beauty of Grand Canyon... or fall and die.
