I spent this week examining the fear and its consequences. Some people are afraid of simple everyday things: dark, height, agglomerations, public presentations, insects, and so on. I would fit such kind of fear into concrete and objective ones. But there are also more complex ones, such as fear of rejection, death, old age, past, madness, future, loss and failure. Others seem unreal, such as a child who is afraid of the dark or the big bad wolf, witches and vampires or the monster in the closet.
All fears have reason and consistency in its existence and they hide hidden conflicts within each of us. But what really matters to us is to know that the fear is the greatest enemy of man. And it comes softly through in our childhood unreal things, and then it lulls in our being along with the painful realities of life.
There are good and bad fears: the good ones are those which prevent us from doing things that may hurt us, so when we are children we learn we should not touch the fire, otherwise we can burn out. That’s it. It turns out that we insist on placing our hands in the fire, even after we are burned, and then we find the bad fear. That fear which takes immeasurable proportions and leads to internal conflicts and obsessions. Take this advice; no human being was born to face the fear. Do not allow it to exist. You can overcome any fear that you find along the way; condition yourself to it. Train it. Just like the boogeyman coming to take us every night during our childhood, one day you face it, you laugh at him, you minimize him at its exact proportion, and then you learn. You learn that the best answer to our fears is the light of reason. Think about it.
