Fear

The fear of losing something, someone.. the fear of being alone.. the fear of being betrayed.. the fear of being mocked at.. the fear of things not going the way you want them to..the fear of failing... we all face them sometime or the other in life..what do u do? stop caring? stop worrying about consequences ? what is the way out?

What kind of an existence is this.. grappling with fears all your life.. when would all these give way to peace..peace of mind and thought..

Hey Neha thanks for your comments.I have posted a reply on my blog on your views.

This post on fear is simply great.Fear is one of the most powerful human emotion.It can make or break people,but it has more to do with one's conviction and courage than with reality.

Fear is an intriguing emotion! But I think it injects all the fun in taking risks. Everything about investing money in the stock market, skydiving, starting a business, taking up a non-conventional career, delivering a public speech without the podium to protect you, confessing your love, disobeying the boss to do the right thing, is made enjoyable due to the fear of failure/rejection/mockery. Sometimes it is so overwhelming that it holds us back. But if it is overcome, I think it's all worth it! Each time you overcome fear of something, you grow so many times as a person :)

There r basically three kinds of fears, fearing something as an entity that is commonly termed as a phobia, fearing the consequences of something and fear of the unknown.As far as the latter two kinds of fears r concerned they relate to something which we do not hv any control upon eg the fear of losing something or someone, the fear of death.... in such cases the events r not at all under our control, thus fearing or worrying abt these things doesnt help the matter u r just helpless in such situations. In such cases the solution lies in realizing the fact that its futile to fear these things, ofcourse u dont stop caring but u can stop fearing. The other category that is phobias can be got over only by facing them bcos thats the only solution, these fears r so deeply entrenched in ur subconcious that they can be got over only by conditioning ur mind, its a gradual process n if u keep placing urself in situations where u hv to face them, u eventually do get over them. Well here i think i've an opportunity to tag u to write something on ur phobias. Keep rambling:)
