If fear is your only hope, then you have given up on living. You will need to be brave to give life a chance and to abandon fear.

The important ingredients of life, among others, are faith, knowledge and your contribution to others. Faith is about your spirituality, for those who are God-conscious, or your acceptance of a certain philosophy and the people that propagate it. Knowledge must be balanced and you must understand it. Knowledge without understanding is merely information which you may store but have no need to use in any way. Your contribution to others typically starts with those around you, your family, friends and the broader community. The display of fear, such that it overpowers your thinking, your faith, your search and application of knowledge, will cause you to be unable to contribute to others and, likely, also not to yourself.

Such is the fear currently experienced that normal behaviour has been abandoned. Life norms that have existed for thousands of years have been transformed because of your fear. You have become afraid to be near loved ones and distanced yourself when, in truth, you have harmed yourself and others. Your fear has lead to behaviours which are not natural. Being unnatural will bring more harm to you than anything else. Had you empowered yourself with knowledge, you will find that there is no reason to be distant from anyone. The human emotion is fuelled by touch. You will have created a lasting fear within yourself if you don’t abandon unnatural behaviour. You may further wish to seek knowledge from people who deal with psychology and you will understand that creating distance between people is harmful to you. It is something that you will not be able to undo unless you act now.

Fear will kill you and along the way you will act irrationally and bring harm to others as well. To live is not to merely exist, for you see stones everyday and consider them “dead”, but they do exist. To live is to empower yourself and not to let fear overtake you, but to understand what brings about that fear. You will find your fear is misplaced if you are truthful to yourself. To be truthful to yourself is to investigate rather than just say “I know”. You need to live and you need to contribute. Your life is wasting away because of fear. Fear is irrational because the least you need to do is to balance your life with greater emphasis on hope. That is more rational. You cannot hope that someone out there will change your life, you have to change things yourself. Some people can help but it starts with you.

Do what is natural. Breathe the air that is natural. Share love in the way that is natural.
