First of all, everyone lives with one form of fear or the other. I think its all about how we deal with it. Recently, I've been deathly afraid of what the future holds in terms of my growth and breaking away from family to find myself and be my own person. Its been quite a struggle trying to deal with the fear that creeps in when i plan and try to execute those plans and something don't go accordingly.
People often encounter things or situations in life that scar them forever and they begin to live in fear and end up living life in the least way possible.
I admit i live with some fears and sometimes become detached but i can also say it's not a flaw but all part of human nature; because if you're not afraid of something, then there has got to be something less human in you.
Fear....its natural.
We are being programmed to think that fear is natural, but in fact it isn't. I mean, depends how you look at it! It's closely connected with our bodies, but when we wake up to the fact how we are nothing more than pilots of these bodies - we can slowly realize how fear is an illusion to keep us entrapped and therefore block us in reaching our highest potentials!
