Fear.. Is it something Unnecessary?

Posted by Lissette Martinez

Nothing causes as much suffering as the fear of suffering. 

Avoid unnecessary fear. 

• For fear of loneliness, you will suffer the torture of being in bad company. 

• For fear of the relationship ending, you suffer for years, the hell of being with the wrong person.

•  For fear of adult responsibilities, you suffer for life acting as a disabled child.

• For fear of suffering caused by your mistakes, you suffer the consequences of not committing to anything ever.

• For fear of being rejected by others, you suffer in loneliness and isolation.

• For fear that someone will not love you, you become possessive and all you get is everyone running away from you and you stay alone.

• For fear of intercourse not well performed, you suffer for years, the castration of an impotence imposed by yourself. 

• For fear of your projects failing, you suffer the terrible failure of not having any of them take off.

• For fear that one of your children will take a wrong step; you turn them to immature, over-protected people and unable to take any step on their own.

There is a fear of suffering that is healthy, because it functions as an alarm that goes off just in time to avoid unnecessary pain. But there is also a fear of suffering that is harmful, because it's like an alarm that goes off all the time, and keeps you from living and causes you suffering that could be avoided.
Then avoid unnecessary  fear.
