This is not the fear that I'm talking about.
That is more like the reaction you get, when you get startled at a haunted house.

What I'm talking about is the unreasonable, daily fear that many people in America live in.

When I was selling vacuums door to door. I got to meat some very frightened people.
One lady had a dead bird on her porch. (it looked like a cat killed it and left it there for her) Rather than let me put it in the trash, she called the health department out to collect it, afraid that it had died of bird flu .

Many of these fearful ways of thinking, are thrust upon us by the media. Either to sensationalize it for ratings, or some other unknown reason, that I'm not going to get into here.

The issue I'm talking about, is the fear of something that is not directly affecting you or anyone you know.

Many people are afraid of things that are not worthy of their fear.
It almost seems like an addiction.

People are afraid they will get drug tested, or get fired, or worry about some country on the other side of the planet, or any other list of things I hear people worry about.

It is almost like people want to be scared :shrug:

and I don't get it.


--------------------
Live for the moment you are in now
Don't be bogged down by your past
Don't be afraid of what lies in your future
