We being human and having numerous desires also posses some kind of fear. There are different forms of Fear. Oxford dictionary have whole set of words to define various types of fears humans have known. Fear of losing, Fear of uncertainty, Fear of failure, Fear of darkness, Fear of closed space, Fear of water, the list could go on and on. What is Fear? Why do we Fear? How does Fear work? Is it like some curable disease? Can all fears be overcome?Fear is an emotion!!! An emotion which has very different characteristics than various other emotions we know of. As we talked in the first post that Life is Journey and it's full of uncertainties, Life has it's own twists and turns, it's own surprises. Fear is one such emotion which impacts the Journey more than any other human emotions. We can come across so many life examples where Fear has overpowered mind and body and proved to be roadblock for growth. There are numerous examples as well where Fear has actually helped individuals grow and attain new heights in life.
Why do we Fear? When you were child, do you remember waking up alone in a dark room with no sign of light. What you did, when you found yourself all alone? Did you cried? Did you sought for MOM? Now imagine yourself as an adult waking up in same pitch dark room. Would you still behave in same way as you did when you were child? I don't think so, at least 99% of people will have different reactions.
So is it something to do with our Mind which gets conditioned in specific way based on our experiences and develops a pattern of emotions and body reactions.
