When i think of this topic, the first thing that comes to my mind is the below scene from Thenali movie (Tamil) in which Kamal Hassan spits out an endless list of "bhayams" i.e Fear!

For each one of us, the so called "Fear" could be different...Fear of death,Fear of stage(the second most common fear), fear of speech, Fear of DOG, Fear of seniors (@ work & otherwise), Fear of .....blah blah blah...
But, what is the cause of this Fear? Where is it coming from? When did we start fearing something in our lives?
In my eternal search in answering these questions, i found something very interesting...
Fear is nothing but, Fantasies Experienced (&) Accepted (as) Real!
It's coming from our failures, our society, our surroundings, our experience...
The moment we experience something bad/not so likable which is not according to our expectations,the "fear" of "that" will root somewhere deep inside us...as the time moves, "that" will grow to a big tree! and now we are Sh** scared of "that"! This is the journey of "Fear" in us..
But,the good news is there is a solution for "that" Fear! - Face "that" :)
Fantasies Accepted (r) Challenged Endlessly!
Endlessly???
Yes. That's the bad news in the good news.
There are some fears which mite take a lifetime to completely overcome. So, the same needs to be challenged and tackled every time....
So, every time you are scared of stage, participate in a programme and perform on stage....every time you are scared at seeing a dog, relax and walk without inviting it with ur "fear" look...every time you are scared of doing something....do it...
Now...hold on...
U would have heard the term...God fearing.. What's that btw??
It should be God loving...Isn't it?
Good one de! I like this post a LOT..!! :) Ratz
ReplyDeleteNice musing! Most times ppl tend to contemplate on a subject but miss out to give a solution (where required).. But in all your blogs you suggest a solution/ quick fix at the end and your blog seems COMPLETE. Good Job!
