The feeling that humans fear the most is fear itself. The way that humans fear fear is strange, if you look at it objectively. They will do almost anything to avoid the feeling of fear, and in their desire to avoid fear, they listen to fear and obey fear as if fear is their god.<\/p>\n
For example, if a romantic partner tells the other, \u201cI\u2019m not happy in this relationship anymore,\u201d fear may arise in the one hearing the news. It could be fear of loneliness, fear of rejection, financial fear, or another type of fear. When fear arises, thoughts come into the mind with suggestions about how to escape fear or how to avoid the feared situation. The fearful one may begin to act differently as a result. A man accused of not showing affection may buy flowers in an effort to be perceived differently. A woman accused of wanting her way might give up something she felt called to do. These actions don\u2019t come from love. They are an effort to escape fear or avoid a fearful situation. Fear said, \u201cJump!\u201d The fearful partner asked, \u201cHow high?\u201d and then proceeded to do so.<\/p>\n
Fear controls and restricts us. We think those limits keep us safe, but they actually keep us enslaved to fear. The next time fear rises, we will listen to its counsel again.<\/p>\n
We cannot be limited by fear and know our free, unlimited nature too.<\/p>\n
