I haven’t written anything for a long time now and today I want to write something about fear. Believe me or not but we all are afraid, we are afraid of death, we are afraid of living, we are afraid of talking, in short, we are afraid of everything. Consider this have you ever find yourself in a thrilling position before making a phone call, or have you ever thought meeting an accident with no imminent chance of having one, this is what I am talking about. And if you never have had such experiences, congratulation, you might have had some different one’s. There is no person in the world who could say he is not afraid of anything.
To put it out truly, we try to be as much positive as we can, we try to console our egos, we follow a lot many Instagram pages which promote positivity or we see youtube videos where people ask us to be grateful, where we are asked to just have a positive thought and boycott every negative thought that comes to our mind. We have something called the law of attraction ( the secret ) or any other name by which it is known and sure we can find a large number of YouTubers and potential business owners who have made their business around it. Also, we have seen a large number of social media influencers who have made a business out of positive thoughts and motivation and we have made them a celebrity.
And believe me, these people are very important, they don’t do anything unique or they are not someone who are going to change our life but they are important because they are the one who reminds us to be positive, they are the one who asks us to be happy and they are our escape when we are in our lowest.
But you know what I believe, I believe being afraid is a good thing, having negative thoughts and emotions is a good thing. Having these negative emotion is a good thing, it makes us more human, it makes us do better things for the humankind. Negative emotions make us a better human being.
If you are always positive, it means you have a positive perspective towards life, you think you have the best emotions, you have all the riches in the world and you will be getting more, you are the happiest person in the planet and you are right, you feel these changes in your life but the moment you see someone in a better position then you, you feel a bit envious but your positive thoughts cover up for you and you are again a normal man and life goes for you, you see more such people and you start doubting yourself, but you are strong-willed and you try to maintain your peace if you are able to accomplish what you desire than your positivity paid off, but if something unfortunate happens, you would either break or like a positive person you will tell yourself the fact that whatever happens, happens for our own good and you would try to move on and if more hardship comes your way you will not be able to cover up and you will finally give up, and you will do something more fatal then a person who welcomed his negative emotions and the reason behind it is the fact that you were telling yourself positive lies and were piling up your negative emotions and when the dam of these emotions will break you will not be able to survive the flow.
For a person who focuses just on negative thoughts, his life is nothing but a miserable one. So, the best option is to welcome your negative emotion and live it, understand why you had that and how important it was for you, it is only when you are feeling low, you realise and relate to the problem of others. If you have a positive outlook, you will see the good in the world and will not be able to see the suffering of the people, because you are positive.
Fear is a negative emotion and almost all the influencers out there will ask you to face it, they will ask you to fight it and its true when you will face it, you will overcome your fear, your obstacle and you will be happy but in that process, you will not be able to understand others and their troubles.
For example, suppose a person has a stage fear, the influencers will ask him to face it and go for it, it will give him confidence and he performs well, he will overcome that fear, a problem got solved and he can tell others about to overcome their fear. But my question to you is, what about the fear, will he ever understand the reason as to why he or any other person had the stage fear in the first place, he surely won’t because he overcame it and never lived it, but on the other hand if a person lives that fear, he would not be able to perform well but he will understand what went wrong, maybe the audience will laugh maybe they won’t, but after facing all this he will have real confidence and he will come out to be a better person if people laugh he would know whether his talents were being appreciated or was the final act being appreciated.
I don’t know if I am able to explain what I want to say but I was having these thoughts so I thought about writing them, if you don’t agree with me it’s okay and if you did even then it’s okay maybe we together can come up with a new ideology and new perspective about life. It’s getting late and I am tired I will go to sleep now, thank you for reading this.
