How well do we really know ourselves?
While we fear what we don't understand, do we really understand what we fear??
Fear is a collective description, that while we would like to be rid of it, it is ironically an integral part of our lives that we also cannot do without. The more we fear fear itself, unknowingly we embrace it more....
While we may fear for different reasons in our course of life, be it at work, commitments, or even death itself, most times our stronghold falters and the notion of it causing us to make a decision however rash will cause this wave of uncertainty that we perceive as fear.....
I have read that peace with the world comes from peace from within. In my case, I found this true to the context of fear and its management. While we try hard to take control of people and situation to best fit our liking, perhaps we should take control of ourselves and know ourselves better. It is not the obvious traits that defines how we handle fear, but the traits that we kept under lock and key, the skeletons in our closets, our dark side that we have kept locked away from society and sometimes ourselves that we have to recognize, embrace and harness its potentials.
Fear not the dark, for when it is darkest that we truly appreciate the faintest streak of light.
