depth of fear

why fear


  • Don't discount it

    Fear is useful. You are often fearful in dangerous situations and it can give you the adrenaline needed to "fight or flight". Plus the illusion of fear and even overcomign actual ones can be exhilarating

    However it should not consume you. It might make you put others in danger to protect yourself, and it could cause you to miss out on wonderful opportunities because you never took a chance.

  • fear

    Fear is a good topic to bring up especially since Halloween is near. Whether it's fair rides, haunted house, or etc.. many people treat fear like a drug and are willing to pay money just to experience it. Whether you like to experience it or not, fear is a very powerful feeling.

  • What is it you think we are afraid of

    Maybe I can do some soul searching and see if your right , but......I doubt it , I kind of think fear would be something that didnt lend itself to hiding much

  • In the present time

    fear is a helpful thing but when unleashed it leads to loss of self control and violent behaviour. Take a favourite debate subject religion people defend their religion, some to the death, because they fear their God. If they are not defensive of their doctrine they will be punished. It seems to me more and more that the only true enemy of God is actually religion itself. Makes me wonder if the 'Anti-christ' (as some like to call him) has been playing us all along.

    Therefore fear is a means to control so sreekanth I agree, why fear. But at this present time there will always be something to fear.

  • Fear=Good (Usually)

    Fear is incredibly useful and necessary. It warns us of danger, reminds us of our limits, sometimes provides pleasure, and was a decent movie, among other things. Letting fear control you, however is dangerous to your physical and mental health.

  • The Depths of Darkness
    Stand in the dark when you are alone and let yourself fear, let it even overcome you. Ask yourself what is this fear. I have found fear is simply fear of the unknown, what we do not see, and can't percieve as good or bad for us. We fear what is bad for us, danger, yes, but far more we fear the unknown. A triple cheeseburger is bad for you, it will hurt you. The dark in your own room is harmless, you know that and so why fear? You fear, ultimately, evil, you fear deception. That things are not what they seem and evil can take hold of you. Have you ever felt in the most dark of moods fear is almost absent? The evil has already taken hold. This is also why the innocent are more prone to fear. There's always overthinking though, and I think maybe I overthought this one. Damn it . Now I have to sleep with the lights on tonight.
