Fear is a pretty strange thing. Everyone has it. Some people think that certain people just don't have fear, but I think that idea is wrong. I think everyone has fear about something or other, mainly because as human beings, we don't know everything. Sometimes we like to think we do, but frankly, we don't know much at all.
I have fear. There's a lot of things that scare me. Some things may be common, like somewhat of a fear of heights ever since I fell off something and sustained an injury. But then there are other types of fears that we have, and these are mostly small things, but the fact that we don't know what to expect makes us scared of it. If you already know what's going to happen, why be scared. You may say, "well, what if I know I am going to die, I shouldn't be scared?" Yes, you should be scared. You should be scared because you have no idea what it feels like to die. This is just an example, a very extreme one, but even so, just an example.
Fear can really take control of our minds, and it's not fun. When we are scared of something, we tend to think of it more, and to think of the horrible outcomes it could possibly result in. It seems as though we never tend to think of the good that it may bring to us, because we aren't worried about something that will benefit us, or make us happy. We are worried about the other part, the part that doesn't make us happy.
We talked a little bit about this on Friday, so I figured I would write about it. I also think about things that scare me a lot, I don't know why, I just do. I get worried very easily, and this is probably the reason that I continue to think about things that frighten me, because I just do not want them to happen. I'm sure almost everyone feels the same way, but I do not enjoy being frightened, so I try to understand everything that I can, so that I will not be frightened. But there are things that we will never understand, so there will always be fear in the minds of human beings. I thought this was an interesting topic to write about, since I haven't really updated this blog lately. If there are any comments you would like to leave, feel free to leave them in the comment section.

Dude, thats hardcore. I agree. I think that everyone has fear. And you are right, it definitely can take control of you. And thats definitely not good. I used to be scared of a lot of things. I think that i'm sorta scared to fear things now though. That certainly doesnt mean that i dont fear things, i cant control that. But there are things that i realize its far more dangerous to fear it than to do it. Like driving in the snow for instance. I know what its like, so i dont really get worried about it. My mom, on the other hand, is terrified of driving in the snow. The difference between us is that when she loses control of the car, she freaks out, whereas i dont, because i'm not afraid. I figure if i'm afraid, it is far more likely to end badly, because i wont keep myself under control. This is a really good topic, guv. Fear is one of the most complex things in this world... at least i think so. Incredible things. For some people, it makes them freeze up and not be able to do anything. For others, it gives them strength and makes them capable to deal with things. Idk... awesome topic.
