Fear is something that is not welcome in the human heart but more often than not, unmistakably prevails there. It withstands logic, battles confidence, and mocks any sense of security we might have. Have you ever considered just how afraid we are and how we can get rid of it?
People Who Fear
There are many reasons and countless explanations as to why a person may feel fear filled or unsafe. Reflecting on my own sense of awareness, I realize that fear is caused by just that: too much awareness. While it is good to be aware of people, things, and circumstances around you, there comes a point when too much is simply too much. Some people focus on what could happen to so great of an extent that they find it very difficult to put these bad thoughts to rest -ever. In a normal situation, I would suggest that they keep busy so that their minds do not wander off so much; however, from my own experiences, I can honestly say that for some people, fear is a deadly snare that keeps them constantly on guard. It makes them extremely uneasy even though they carry around a phone and their doors are locked at all times.
In my opinion, constant fear is not living but merely existing. When a person is consumed by fear, he can not enjoy the people and things around him because his fears turn into constant worrying. If anything should eventually happen, he wasted all the good times when he had no reason to be concerned.
In reality, if a person is fully aware of things around him and has done his best to prepare himself, then he should neither fear nor worry. In a sense, he’ll have the upper hand because he’s lived in the possibility of the thing occurring for quite some time.
