Fear

The moment when your hand begins to sweat uncontrollably. All of your skin becomes clammy and cold. You become silent, not just on the outside but silent on the inside. Your thoughts begin to be encased by the fear you are feeling and there is nothing that can make you feel better. Shaking from the inside out but yet trying to be so still. Feeling like the pit of your stomach that it is turning. These feelings come over most when there is a fear in them. This happens to people at different times and for different reasons. Some people can handle their fears while others let these fears overcome and even take over their everyday lives. Some have trouble giving up on some child like fears such as; being afraid of the dark, thinking that their is something under their bed, or thinking the 'boogy man" is in their closets. Many high school students fear things like failing, being humiliated in front of other students, not exceeding in their sport, getting broken up with or rejected, and/or not getting accepted into the college they want. Many adults have fears of being alone forever, divorce, losing their job, being homeless, getting robbed, their children or significant other passing. These fears can go for all ages but the ones I described for each group are thought about on a daily to weekly bases. These are the fears that sometimes consume people lives. Fears are things that people too often say are weaknesses. This is not true to me at all. To me it is only a problem when people allow these things to take over their lives. Many people have multiple fears, and not matter how much they say they have no fears, everyone has at least one. It is just human nature. We all have to have fear so that we can sensor ourselves in a way so that we don’t do things that are harmful to us or become superior.
