Introduction
The theme of human fears sounds in the world today in
full voice. And there are plenty of reasons for this. How to avoid becoming a
slave to your own phobias and fears, how to overcome the fear of life as such
and not allow it to become a total obstacle to our development? What is the
significance of the struggle with fear in the Christian life?
Human
fears are as diverse as the dispensation of the human soul. Someone is afraid
of death, which is inevitable for man. Someone is afraid of pain, someone is
afraid of illness and any kind of suffering, someone is afraid of dishonor and
shame, someone is lonely and left behind by people, someone in general, that
his life will be wrong as he would have wanted. If we add to this the fear of
the dark, the fear of various everyday dangers, the fear of the unknown, which
is also very much inherent, then, in the end, it turns out that a person is
afraid not only of something separately but of his whole life as a kind of
universal fact, delivered when he came to this world.
What is
the basis for this fear? First of all, the fact that a person often does not
know what life is does not understand why it was given to him, and even when he
seems to know and understand, this knowledge and understanding is not the
property of his heart. Therefore, it is sometimes easier for a person not to
live, but to vegetate, hiding in some kind of burrow, shutting himself in his
little room and hoping in this way to sit out and avoid some serious decisions,
tests, shocks, without which human life does not pass.
In fact,
it is through this that the formation of a person is accomplished — through
what he has to experience in his life a lot of difficult things and, in the
context of our conversation, “terrible”. And, of course, such avoidance not
only deprives the one who fears those or other impressions that are important
for his life but also deforms his personality, does not allow it to form as it
could be. If a person continues to drift along with it, if he perceives his
fear as a certain norm, she can destroy it - to the extent that a mental
disorder occurs. Therefore, of course, it is impossible to put up with fears,
it is impossible to live with fears, it is impossible to merge with them into a
single whole - you need to fight them and overcome them throughout their lives.

1. What to fear in this life?
In
today's life, there are so many fears that poison this life, that all human
behavior is based only on fear. And every day a person is diligently imposing
new fears, oppressing their psyche and will, making it controlled by fear. But
in fact there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of in this life, many people
live in constant fear, not even understanding its nature, not to mention
understanding it. What all fear is reduced to us for, if not to the fear of
death, because our life is the most precious thing we have, but death is
unknown to us, and from that, it scares us.
It is the
fear of death is the root of all other fears that grow and flourish in our
heads. But even death is not terrible when you realize that it is an integral
part of our life. If you realize that your life can be interrupted at any time,
anywhere, and that you don’t know the reasons for this, then the very fear of
death will lose its meaning. There is no point in fear, because all the same,
something will happen that should happen, but something that we have not done
will never happen. That is why it is so important that they are not afraid
because fear binds our actions, and we must act in this, and this is the
meaning of the whole life process.
A person
is afraid of loneliness and therefore acts, he is looking for a couple, a
person is afraid of hunger and poverty, and therefore he works, the person is
afraid of death and therefore tries to prevent it. All this suggests that we
need to act, and fear forces us to do it, but we should not be afraid, why not
step over this stage and not immediately begin to act? Why are they necessarily
afraid of something that they would either do something or stay idle,
submitting to their fear, but not listening to it? As soon as you cease to be
afraid, but at the same time you will not be an indifferent person, and you
will remain as purposeful as fear makes you, you will jump far ahead.
It is
impossible to frighten or stop a person who is not afraid of anything,
including death, but at the same time, he has a purpose in life. But an
apathetic person who is not afraid of anything, but does not have a goal, can
be frightened at any moment when his measured and calm life ceases to be so.
And all because such a person lives with an illusion of stability, which is not
there, he is afraid of losing what is not in principle. This is where the
absurd is, this is where there is no understanding of the nature of one’s fear.
Fear acts as a fuel that puts the human body in working condition, but this
fuel can paralyze a person and limit him if he does not want to start.
But in
general, this is just a stupid measure of coercion is because if you are not
stupid and ask questions about life, you do not need to be forced, and fear for
you is just fun. Who and what can deprive you of this world, if you already own
nothing, but people are afraid of it. Everything will ever go into
non-existence, everyone dies, time does not spare anyone, and in this case,
which is regrettable, about the inevitable? The whole universe consists of the
same parts, we all are one, and how not cool, we will remain so, and in that
case, what can we be afraid of? It is enough to think a little about it in
order to understand the whole senselessness of fear, and that the function that
it performs may not be necessary for us.
You are
not smart enough if only fear forces you to do something, but you are very
stupid if you do not do anything because of fear. Transform your thinking, by
recognizing your fear, find its root and its meaning, and you will understand
that in this life there is nothing to fear, you just needed the illusion of
fear, because you do not understand otherwise. Fear recedes before those whom
it makes no sense to frighten, who sees the true state of affairs and
understands the need for all that is in this life. Your psyche will change
significantly, and opportunities will increase when you understand why you are
afraid, what you are afraid of, and decide for yourself whether you need it.
