Fear is the heart behind all things negative and wrong in life

I've ultimately come to conclude that fear is ultimately the culprit of all badness in life

misunderstanding, nonunderstanding eye see creates fear in those who need any a grasp of such to feel stable, balanced in lives.  conspiracy theories that lead to no concrete conlusions leaves an unknown where an optimist or pesimist can come to own perspective.  found really depends on physical health of individuals; mind and body.  those times when thoughts slipping, turning negative much of all looks hopeless and non-desirable, fear and belittle, simple organic foods will turn thoughts around with the first bud to taste.  amongst many other things there are to make what is here, now in front of eye better, pleasant, euphoric.

when search 'opposite of fear?' in google, the answer comes to 'Love'.

Opposite lf fear is contentment, a form of peace.. i think, oppisite of love to be hate.. to want to be with, and not want to be with..

this is a mess though, so ignore this and do not bother too much with it..  fear is bad for the one content.. just relax and love.. blissed you be :wink:

it's all about how you manage your fear I think as it's something you can't avoid.
ignoring it is just as unhealty as letting it overpower you.

at times fear exists, or does it not?  think of when on high roller coaster, hundreds of feet above the ground, being held in by two little metal bars.  one's mind/imagination could create fearfull vision of what could go wrong, SPLAT!  simple examination of what is happening would bring understanding of precautions taken ensuring safety of people.
us whoMans are the most complex compostion of matter ever known to to mind.  we live within this body that operates so many micros that make the whole.  not only do we feel what is happening with as life goes, we interact with external influences.  that same trueth of understanding our own, can apply to understanding any given situation, scnerario where emotions may rise.  emotions of all sort that only can be labeled with words to communicate with others.  experiencing a moment and sharing that experience with another leads no need to have speak of feelings with as to experiencing the experience itself. 

old line written under peace of art years ago goes something like this, 'communication permitted via difficulty.'  the Lord song singing now lets all ears there to listen.

fifty fifty fine balance.  as it takes two to make whole.  instead of getting another rabbit down the whole trying to understand the scene, sharing words drawing near conclusion, Eye got graded.  very much helped understand a bit of converstations that held me at same crest of conciuos awareness when always Love expansion.

Posting so I remember to make a longer reply when its not 3am.

I can see fear being the root of alot of things but then I dont in others..I'll elaborate tomorrow and hopefully someone can try explain to me what I'm missing.

But yeah irrational fear fucks up alot of things for alot of people..and most dont even realise it.

Because fear is so closely linked to loss [of stuff, people, life, etc.], and loss is a precursor to desire, which is the root of suffering, it stands to reason that fear and suffering go hand in hand.

How is loss a precursor to desire? The desire to replace that which you lost?

I think so.  Or maybe to "replace" (for lack of a better word) that which you never had.  Like when you see a commercial for something you didn't know existed but now you think you can't live without.

Wait, didn't somebody condemn materialism as causing suffering before? :laugh:

Being free of fear is certainly praised in the buddhadharma. One of the three major types of giving is giving someone protection from fear.




See..I dont get how people would rather believe in a religion, that in my country kept homosexuality and contraception illegal until the 90's (hell divorce was illegal until the 80's I think), over a philosophy hat propagates idea's such as the above...Oh wait its because they dont think about it...*Sigh

No, more like the opposite.  I don't really ever have the feeling of fear I guess.  It doesn't make any sense to unless the situation calls for it, like when there is a possibility of bodily harm or something like that.  Same as it doesn't make sense to ever feel unhappy.

Fear is as real as any other emotion. In fact, it is more "real" because it is one of our basic hardwired neurological systems. We have innate fears that we don't even have to learn, they are coded in our DNA. Snakes and spiders. We have to learn to not fear them.

I think we learned to fear such things.

I suspect outdoorsy people aren't particularly frightened by a snake or spider...

But why would you feel those things if they are not positive to your overall well being.  I don't understand why people do things they know will not benefit them. I feel humans are the only animals that make decisions that are not in our overall best interest.

Why not be happy all the time. No one else can make that decision for you, it is up to you to be happy.

Fear is as real as any other emotion. In fact, it is more "real" because it is one of our basic hardwired neurological systems. We have innate fears that we don't even have to learn, they are coded in our DNA. Snakes and spiders. We have to learn to not fear them.




I think we learned to fear such things.

Yes, I don't want to die. Fear is the most primal emotion, the first emotion so to speak. It's instinct, and that's hard, if even possible to overcome.

Although I do think that acknowledgement and understanding of some of the illusions that root back to fear might help people to better themselves in some ways.

Why do anything but feel good?"
- You will be missing some part of the expereance... personally, I do not fear. It only makes me sick..

still, I would not deny pain and sorrow... they contrast the eternal bliss... without the other, the first would be meaningless and all that.. not to be too much of a hypocrite, but honestly.. I do not fear, nor hate.. they only bring bad things.. pain and sorrow however, I find quite enjoyable as they really mankfest all the way down.. but generaly? I am abliss.. life or death, What does it matter? I simply do see the reason to bother with it..

I find it extremely difficult to believe that you "do not fear"

If you're walking down the street late at night and a crazy, angry, fat, naked man with a blowtorch and a chainsaw starting running full speed at you, you wouldn't run away?

Less comically, if you were standing on a ledge and you almost slipped, you wouldn't try to regain your balance?

I would try to regain my balance, if jumping was not my intention... as I still probably had an unfinished task in life.. but why da hell would someone run at me with a chqinsaw? I would just step aside so the could get to those people.. if he for some reason was running at me.. I would stare at him with a ... dumfounded.. look untill the idiot killed me or he stopped...

This is an oversimplification, there are many more sources for negativity in life than fear.

I'd switch off my targeting computer to take the shot, blow it and go home. Jedis don't puss out when the trumpet horn of battle is called.  Sometimes you gotta blow up a deathstar. Sometimes that small moon turns out to be a space station. Death and life are irrelevant. A jedi does or does not, he does not try.

I'm not Mace Windu but I'll cut a bitch!!!

I have a tendancy telling people thing they do not want to know.. and if someone runs at me with a chainsaw.. either he will kill me, or I will make him beg me to kill him since I told him he couldnt do it himself... then I will let him live to his suffering...

the point is rather, that I would not run from something... If I do not wish to give everything I have in each and every action.. why do them? It is like scrooge mcduck, as I read whwn I was little.. got so much of something, and loves it more than anything, but it is worth nothing if it is burried away.. one must use life, i think.. not lock it away and fear each day for it to be stolen away... that is a path of suffering..

He's not going to listen to you though, he's not going to care what you think, he's a complete sociopath

He doesn't want to kill you, he just wants to fuck you up in his rape basement for years and years and years

You'd never see the sun again

He wants to cut your toes off and glue dolls heads to them and whip you til you dance like Brittany Spears

Fear is instinctive, it's the base emotion, the most primal emotion. You can't just dismiss it.

Even something as simple as sometimes denying being wrong about something rather than admitting to it. That's fear. Ultimately, fear of death.

I quote from another thread:

Quote:

liquidlounge said:
Could you elaborate on how faults are connected to death? That's interesting. I've never thought about that.

Faults equal varying risks of death.

FAULT:

a. A character weakness
b. Something that impairs or detracts from physical perfection
c. A mistake
d. A minor offense or misdeed.

From our ancestors chasing the woods for food to Americans fighting towel heads. Or in less critical situations such as messing up at work increasing the risk of getting fired, which again could make you economically vulnerable. This is even the core to when your friend is wrong in regards to subjects of no actual importance, due to this he/she reacts rather irrational.

A character weakness is in other words vulnerability and being vulnerable means death which is mans root to fear, hence being wrong is fearful and no one want to experience fear. This is why you see most people react nutty or anxiously when being wrong.

Your one intelligent guy man, thank you!

Something I need to man up to is when I'd debate/argue with somebody and Im certain Im right then realise I'm not like half an hour later. Usually I'll see it during but sometimes in the heat of the argument.

Most recently happened with my brother but he is such an insufferable know-it-all gloat I literally could not bear to hear him go on and on >:(

it makes me wonder just how much we've misplaced our fear for survival in 21st century america. the fears we used to place on very real dangers are placed on little stupid things. this is probably the cause for all kinds of anxiety and depressive conditions. i think that without the proper teaching (psychedlics, meditation, exercise, etc) that fear will always be there and in strange places, until we realize that it's not real. being chased by a puma is real fear. not having any food to clean water to drink is real fear. these fears are there to get us to stay alive. once a fear is placed on something that has nothing to do with survival (term paper), it's not really there i think.

the fear of hurting someone/something else though I think is just as real as the fear for survival. we may not need to be a good person in order to survive, but we need it to have our consciousness clean.  maybe the whole concept of afterlife and paying for your karma upon death is what make us fear for doing harm, and if those concepts are real, then that fear is real fear.

as animals we have the real primal fear of dying, but as 'highly' conscious beings we have a whole other level of fear on top of that, imo. just a thought.

Fear is the root of many (all?) illusions, I agree.

And I don't believe in an afterlife, or karma in a supernatural/superstitious sense (if someone's being a dick and they feel guilty about it or even get punched in the face for it, that's what karma is to me) but I still try to be a good person for the sake of it. And I'm sure there's plenty of other people who're the same way. Or I like to think there are.

I think if someone needs God, or fear of the afterlife to be a good  and decent person then by all means, don't let me or anyone else talk them out of it. :lol:
