Concept of Fear

What are you most afraid off?

Nothing. I tell you why.

Fear is only a weakness of the indivdual. Since weakness limits yourself and your abilities, you gain less strength while acting and interacting with others.

So your saying your afraid of nothing?

The weakness of inferiors is to believe in their weaknesses. The result is their endless failure once their weaknesses become a threat. I am not inferior.

And you have already mastered controle of such emotion?

Of emotion "fear" - it depends on how you wish to define "fear". Do you refer to the primal instincts - like in such a silly situation... where you're in a dark room, no light, only stars and moonlight... and you hear the wind blowing outside and get a shivering... that is a core emotion also known as basic fear.

And only now do you decide to delve deeper into the meaning of the word.

Interesting - or is it more the fear that you build up through your own self - where you are unable to control the situation and unleash your emotions asap to build up walls of defense while trying to overcome your (possible) enemy... No, I don't explore the meanings of the word "fear" right now. I've done this in the past already.

But then, let's face it. What is fear?

Its some agitation or dismay in the anticipation of or in the presence of danger. And through such, people are even living in fear of what the future might hold. I believe that this kind of fear plays a large role in the "path of darkness" - to be afraid of the future, and not being able to trust yourself and your community to overcome these situations and master them with profession and skill.

But you can also relate "fear" to a way of... having a reverential awe of something. As a fear of a god or power. Its not seen as expectation with alarm in this way, nor being apprehensive - but awareness of (un-)controllable strength and power.

That is one reason why I am not inferior.
