i found this somewhere....
What are you afraid of?
Why is fear such a taboo subject?
Often times, people are just as afraid of sharing their fears with others, as they are afraid of the object of this fear.
Why?
Is it that gnawing feeling inside that tells them, “What if no one else is afraid of this thing, what if I’m the only one who thinks this? It’s probably just an irrational feeling anyways.”
No.
People wish more than anything that someone would be able to tell them that there is no reason to possess this fear of whatever induces that fever of their senses.
People are afraid of finding out that their fear is legitimate. That once they express what they’re thinking, that what they’re feeling is rational, and that there is reason to panic.
As if committing their senses into words, either spoken, or written, will make their fear become a tangible being.
Worrying about this ember of thought. An ember of fear. It immediately needs to be stomped out. If it’s discussed, if it’s considered as a valid concern, then this ember is allowed to burn. And once it ignites, once a medium is given to it, a means to burn, it will. And it will consume.
Thoughts and feelings and sensations will be overcome by it.
If it’s fueled, by anything, an event, a thought, an occurrence, be it a coincidence, or a genuine support of this formulation, then it is also given power. And power is dangerous. Power is a killer.
When a theory is given enough power, in one’s own mind, it can control and distort reality. Perceptions are altered, and control of one’s own thoughts can falter.
And if we lose control of our own thoughts,
we are lost.
When one cannot control their own thoughts,
Everything has been lost.
Until there is nothing left
but a shell,
showing what once was.
