Why do you condemn and blame “FEAR”??? Whenever you or anybody else is confronted and challenged with TRUTH that is intended to TEACH them something {always accomplished through CHANGE} you have, only, TWO OPTIONS available to you. You can EITHER accept the TRUTH and CHANGE accordingly; or, you can REJECT and IGNORE the Truth and continue to cherish your ERROR!!! The CHOICE is quite open, free and effective; but, it is YOUR CHOICE ~ not “fear’s”!!! “Fear” has nothing to do with it. If you, indeed, LOVE THE TRUTH you will follow that path. If you DETEST the TRUTH ~ you will IGNORE that path; but, BOTH WAYS ~ there “AIN’T NUTTIN’ TO IT BUT TO DO IT!!!” And, subsequently, STAND RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR CHOICES and STOP trying to blame other RIDICULOUS and LAME EXCUSES for YOU crappy decisions!!! YOU made the choice {whatever it was} NOT some “BOOGEYMAN” named “fear”!!!
TRUTH, itself, has ONLY ONE PURPOSE!!! That purpose is to CORRECT, PROVE & REBUKE ERROR!!! Whatever is WRONG and EVIL sets itself up as TRUTH’S ENEMY. Without TRUTH ~ no GOODNESS or RIGHTEOUSNESS can, possibly, exist. As human creatures, we are BORN into this world DESPISING change and TRUTH. One of the very first words that is HATED by us is the word “NO”!!! “Do not do that”, we are, constantly, admonished; and, we grow up DESPISING this restraint on our actions. It is NOT a “fear” of being told what is right and good ~ it is, irrefutably, an HATRED of restraining our personal will. However, for a RIVER or a MOUNTAIN STREAM to be BEAUTIFUL ~ it *MUST* remain within its very restraining banks!!! When the waters of ANY RIVER defeat and pay no attention to its banks, all HELL breaks loose ~ resulting in flooded destruction and death of all within its path!!! As the raging river is DEMANDED by Nature to remain under CONTROL for the simple well-being of life, itself, so are the PEOPLE demanded by all that is good to remain in control and responsible for their actions!!!
DEPENDS ON WHAT THE CHANGE IS. I KNOW THIS WOMAN WHO IS DATING THIS MAN. SHE HAS A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD. SHE IS DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND. THE MAN IS OLDER AND HAS RAISED CHILDREN THROUGH HIS FIRST MARRIAGE. HIS CHILDREN ARE OLD AND IN THEIR MID 20S. SHE BELIEVES THAT HE CAN CHANGE AND WILL ACCEPT HIS CHILD. HE IS ADAMENT ABOUT RAISING ANY MORE KIDS. HE TELLS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT IT WILL NEVER GO ANYWHERE. SHE THINKS HE WILL CHANGE
I have made choices based on everything, fear, pleasure, hate, love and all of the unconscious spectrum in-between. Recognising the reason behind our choices encourages and re-enforces better decision making in the future. If, in the future, you are making a decision which you recognise as being based on a fear, the chances are that you will remove that obstacle immediately and proceed onto the next hurdle or realise that it was only fear (of failure, public opinion etc.) that was holding you back and you arrive at your conclusion.
Fear is an ally, a self defence mechanism but should not be our master any more than it is needed instinctively rather than the expectation of peers. In understanding this, we learn to recognise our instincts and evolve them along with our minds and concious and the result of this will be human evolution.
