From fear to freedom (#1744)

A goal in all our of lives should be to move further away from fear and closer to freedom throughout the span of our lives. Fear is what restrains us from boldly exploring that which we don't know. Being afraid that somehow we will change is ridiculously contrarian in that we are who we are and if we don't want to know what that is then we should remain afraid. Our society has somehow reversed the idea that our curiosity is a bad thing and our suppressing it is the right thing to do. How absurd! We are a blank canvas when we begin our lives and we add shapes and forms to that canvas as we discover the wonders of life around us. This process continues throughout our lives never ceasing since we can never live long enough to have discovered all. Fear is used by many to control their inability to grasp that we are not all the same, which is perfectly normal for us to be different. Although we are all of the same species we have different perspectives on what our species can achieve. So finding a way to free ourselves from the bonds of fear is the first order of business for us if we truly want to experience freedom. It is only through freedom that we can actually find happiness so the more we find we bind ourselves to fear the less we will ever find true happiness. It really all boils down to how we see ourselves. If we want to be something we are not then we will live in fear to protect that illusion. If however we are not afraid of being who we discover we are then the liberty of that freedom will elevate our lives to a confidence that will attract other like minded liberated souls. I know what I am and I know what I am not, only because I wasn't afraid to limit my perspective.
