Irrational fear - kick them in the nuts

Looking back and I see I have been manipulated a lot by this one sucker! Riding under a bridge is fearsome.. Omg this bridge is gonna fall on my head anytime let's speed up! Magically my bus ticket is gonna disappear so let me keep checking it once in a while...and a loads of such silly craps. Irrational fear is not bad until its percentage remains small. Something like our greenhouse gas layer...as far as it remains thick enough for gasses and heat to enter our atmosphere and reflected back into space, everything is good. What happens when the heat that got inside our atmosphere gets trapped? That's what exactly happens when we send too much carbondioxide making the ozone thicker so heat gets trapped and we are fucked once and for all. Global warming. It is one of our primal instincts which helped us to be safe from predators and evolve. Your fear helps you come up with solutions to solve real problems. But when this irrational fear gets out of control that keeps you crippled. You can make it work for you or against you! It's all about how you tame it. You should check out some of these products available in the market supporting people's irrational fear! I keep wondering why do they even need this! Back to my story..I had this one big layer of irrational fear stacked on me for years. All those philosophies and solutions i cooked up were simply based on it. Problems were unnecessarily magnified or it didn't matter at all. Eliminating this layer or bringing it under control gave me a new perspective about things and my philosophies got redefined quickly. Every time I'm riding I have 1% chances of getting into an accident (I'm a decent rider)...we have this strict rules about wearing helmet..and i hate to wear one. Whenever I ride without an helmet I get super conscious. Now my chances of getting into an accident has suddenly become 2%! Imagine, a guy who checks his bus ticket often, how conscious will he be not to get caught by a traffic police? I started thinking about what's going to happen when i get caught? They take my license until I pay the fine in court or just have to pay him some bribe (I'm compromised I know), whatever it is i can handle it! Back to my 1%. The positive thing is I bought a new helmet and started wearing it. Conquer your irrational fear! The more you run the more it chases you like a street dog. Most of the times you are magnifying and over complicating things. Movies you watch play a big role in feeding your brain with irrational fear about almost everything. Remember the effects you had after watching final destination? Conquering your magnified fear can be personality altering.

Suffer Well

When your last bit of human dignity is stripped off of you, you would either become an animal or a spiritually elevated self. Suffer well. "There is only one thing that I dread: not to be worthy of my sufferings." - Dostoevski

Resistance to Enlightenment

Ideologies constructed from the intent of supporting people's well-being are in general a noble doctrine on paper until it is handed over to people and its leadership to implement it. The problem in most cases doesn't lie with the manifesto but with the people! A whole mass of resentful, angry, and destructive focused mob (mixed with people who truly deserve justice and more in number) will make radical moves on what they consider the opposite side and terrorize a whole country under a tyrant's leadership! Before this original doctrine could have its test run, build regulations to adhere to the well-being of everyone, the transition is rapid and the result is devastating as with the case of Russia, China, Germany, Cambodia and so on. Demonizing the opposite side is a common practice even today. When your inclination for a particular side gets cemented, you start mingling with people who support it, you start watching news channels that demonize the other side and glorif...

Strength of my beliefs

Do not harden your beliefs each time you listen or read to something that's against yours. The harder your belief system transforms, the more away you get drifted from the truth. Hold on to your beliefs, have them challenged and be open to criticisms and ideas contrary to your beliefs. That's how you make your beliefs stronger, however paradoxical it may sound. And do not become instrumental in others hardening their beliefs that resonate with yours or otherwise. The more knowledgeable one becomes, the closer one gets to the reality of how farther away one is from the knowledge itself.
