Fear is the reason people fail. Fear is the reason people choose not to be themselves.

There is no reason why someone needs to fear, we have no reason whatsoever to fear that which is, or is not, around us. We have no reason to fear things that we hear, see, smell, or even know. There is no reasons to fear that which we do not know, because we can always learn about it. Even if that something could, or even would, hurt us there is no reason to fear.

Fear is what drives someone insane, it is what drives them to hate and to kill. Fear is the force which gives people a reason to hate one another, but without that fear you can remove the element which gives you the hatred. You can be free to learn, and to love, but most of all you can be free to live. Living is not done with fear, but rather without. We do not need fear to live, and no we do not need fear to die. Death is much different then fear.

Fear is what we would like to do when we do not know of any other thing to do, it is much simpler to fear that which you do not understand. It is not always easy to go beyond the fear that we wish to feel. We do not, however, need to feel such fear. In fact we can even learn to live without, or even beyond, that fear. We can choose to live without fear. How? That is the question, isn’t it?

Living with fear can be done in many ways, but it can only be done by finding something to believe in. Whether this be yourself, a god, an angel, or just another mortal. Believing in something erases the fears that we usually believe we should have, because by believing in something else we begin to see that the fear which used to control us no longer does-and yet, it never did control us.

Fear is a word we give things we do not yet wish to know but when we erase that and begin to wish to learn everything, or at least as much as we possibly can, we begin to desire to learn about those things. This desire could be seen as a bad thing, but is the desire to learn bad? No. It is true, however, that desire could lead to us wishing to learn something we should not. The question then is: Is it okay to learn of it.

That is the question you should ponder, but not whether or not to have fear. Question things. Wonder about things. Imagine. Believe. Don’t believe. But never, never, stop learning. Desire to learn. Desire to understand. Seeking answers is not wrong. You may not like the answers, but seek them out and then you will learn. Through seeking the answers we learn, and then when we do understand we can teach.

Teaching what we learn is a beautiful gift,
Jeff.
