Fear?

 
 28 Oct 2009 @ 4:22 PM 

This is the emotion that drives us as human beings. We are constantly in fear of losing our job, worried what others think of us, etc. There is no acceptable reason to feel this way. Take nationwide laws such as if you steal, you will go to jail for a couple of years. This is a prime example of fear we are threatened on a daily basis that our freedom will be snatched from under our bare feet and left with nothing. Americans especially are in fear that they may lose all the money they have worked so hard for, for 20-30 years. I am not implying by any means that you should go and rob the corner store, I am simply asking that we all sit back and ask ourselves, Why does fear motivate us? Motivation should come from somewhere else, but unfortunately this is how (like cattle) we are kept “inside the fence”.

People use this against us everyday. The motivation for putting these thoughts on paper was someone attempting to instill fear in me to convince to do something I did not agree with. I thought to myself, what is wrong with this picture? I still do not have an answer for this, however I intend to look for it! It seems like people who think they are superior to you try and use this the most, you know that guy at your office that does this. He is anal retentive about EVERYTHING, even when it isn’t necessary. The guy who tattles to your boss like we were in the first grade.
It seems to me that people who try and use this emotion to their advantage, have quite a bit of insecurity. So to empower themselves they use this, to motivate people they think are “beneath” them. I refuse to believe that everyone is okay with this! I know that I will not stand for it at all , no matter what the situation may be!
SO now that I am done ranting like a conservative who is upset about what type of music that today’s youth listens to, I want to leave you with these questions. Will you allow this emotion to run you life? If so, how long? Why not stand on you own two feet and refuse?
