Day 36: Fear

Fear is an uncomfortable emotion due to any threat of danger, harm or pain. According to me, fear can be classified into two groups: the good fear and the bad fear.

What is the good fear?

• Fear that would do us some good (prevent mistakes, not breaking a goal, etc)

• Usually involves something bad

• We usually consider the consequences of doing a particular thing.

• Example: Fear of cheating in a test- Scared of getting caught, dissatisfaction, guilty conscience,

What is the bad fear?

• Fear that will always keep us locked in our cages(expressing an opinion, making a mistake, being honest)

• Usually involves something good

• Here, we usually consider what people will think of us (sometimes the consequences)

• Example: Fear of telling the truth about something: relief, shouting

Ways to overcome fear

#1 Why should you be afraid if you're doing the right thing?

#2 Don't keep everything to yourself, share them with others too(but in such a way that they won't be pressurized)

#3 The cage isn't a good place to be- free yourself!

The things we fear are like this building: we can only see the exterior- but the interiors may be a lot different.
