Love is Letting Go of Fear

FEAR, it controls all of our decisions, it is all prevailing, it is destructive and nonconductive to happiness. Yet even though in recovery we have faced a lot of our fears, most are still rooted in our personalities and in everything we do. Mostly subtly and unnoticed, as such untreated. However in the same note we must note here that yes there is healthy fears, however they are basics for life when doing something such as walking a ledge at a considerable height, being far from the beach in deep water, fire, ETC... some might call these just common sense, however I’ve learned that what one person thinks common sense is another does not necessarily think along the same lines, so I’ve come to believe that the term we refer to as “common sense” is really not at all common, everybody has their own definition of “common sense. However for the sake of argument we are going to call the basic fears for safety and life as common sense fears. So except for the common sense fears, fear is a destructive and life debilitating entity. It distorts reality and in general just creates lies and deception in our thinking. The biggest thing is that fear is mostly just illusion.
Fear, F.E.A.R Fck everything and run, that is what the general population does when confronted with it; False evidence appearing real, is what over 90% of it is. I believe it was Winston Churchill who said it best” The only thing to fear is fear itself.” Let’s look at few of the fears that pervade the general population; the fear of not being loved, the fear of not fitting in, the fear of being alone, the fear of being hurt, the fear of not enough money, and the fear of not belonging. These are but a few of the root fears which branch off to many others, that stifle the souls need for creativity, understanding, growth, development of the soul, the personality and the essence of humanity, most of all the strangling of diversity, compassion, freedom of expression, and true love in its highest form, and lastly true happiness. The saddest part of this is it is reinforced by the society in which we live. Think about how a person is cast if they dare to think differently than his peers or the community, how are they shunned and looked upon, how many times have you thought something somewhat different and kept to yourself, how many times have you thought about doing something a little or a lot differently in style, speech, acting having fun, ETC... yet kept it to yourself out of fear of humiliation, laughed at EYC, how many times have you seen a person act indifferently or aloof, perhaps even cold or unpleasant just to keep others away. The list goes on and on. You know you have a few of these and more. Why out of fear. If these are kept hidden and/or changed your behaviour to protect oneself. How are you experiencing the true human experience in all its glory and wonderment? How is your soul and heart being fulfilled? Most importantly how can you experience true happiness? To be continued.
