Fear


Fear is the most tricky of all human emotions. It is the least understood and perhaps the most felt feeling. Yet we know so little about fear. But I guess thats what fear is all about..........being unknown.

Well on closure scrutiny of our little civilisation we will find that how important fear is. Fear is the underlying layer on which our civilisation has been standing and basking in glory. Because without fear there would be no bravery and without bravery their would be no legends, without legends there would be no heroes and without heroes their would be no ideals, and without ideals there would have been no civilasation possible.

See thats how important fear is to us...... yet we somehow haven't seen it.

Being afraid is natural..... in fact it is necessary for survival......... for without fear we would all be reckless species jumping off the cliffs without prior thought. Now that i have spoken of thought....it is merely out of thought process that we find this monster called Fear. Thought leads to calculations....& risk assessments and which finally makes us decide if we are OK in doing a particular thing or not.
So from this logic I can safely say that fear is a direct result of a conscious mind ....... and more capable the mind is the more afraid it shall tend to be.
SO this makes us the most scared species on the face of earth...... doesn't it.
And this is clearly visible in current trends and social behaviour. We are so afraid of what we done to our planet that we are afraid to come to terms with it..... and still arguing over what/who was the cause instead of coming to terms with our mistakes and making amends. This is precisely because we are afraid ....... and we are afraid because we do not know a way out of this mess..... we are uncertain....... and so uncertain that we are hoping that end shall come swiftly.....and it shall be such an end that we are left with nothing but our minds to figure out something for future. This is visible in our modern art..... our movies. Every year at least one movie is being released focusing completely on the upcoming Armageddon....... a complete annhilation of human kind and human ways. But I guess that it is just a wishful thinking. For the end shall not be swift... it shall be slow....... it shall be painful.... and we will have nowhere to go.....but suffer here alone. The question we are facing is not weather earth shall remain hospitable or not......but rather shall we survive such a cleansing process.... for cockroaches shall outlive us for sure...
The makers of Matrix might have imagined this place like a software which can be restarted...... but sadly the architect of this real world hasn't provided restart button...... their is only a shutdown........ and complete darknes.........
Afraid are u?..................... :).......
