While walking home from church today, I thought a lot about fear. We live in a society driven by fear. We are slaves to it. There is the fear of failing, so we don't try new things. There's the fear of someone hurting us, so we don't walk alone outside, or we don't go to certain parts of town. There's the fear that no one will like you, so we act fake and phony so that if they don't like us, it doesn't hurt your real self. There's the fear of becoming obese, so we spend hours on end exercising, and thinking about how to eat healthier. These are just a few of many fears I witness in people every day. Fear motivates us. How did this happen? Shouldn't it be love? I want love to be my motivator, my driving force.
sorry, I know it is werid just step in and leave comments, but this post does hit me a lot. I feel the same, in this time of my life, i always feel lacking of strength to try new things, love something different. Hope everyone can have the courage as when we were younger...Sam
