F E A R

 



In one of my dreams tonight, it seemed that I reached nirvana, a state of enlightenment or in other words, I understood the essence of life. It is all about FEAR. Yes, fear, simple, it is all about fear. It is the only constant feeling that haunts us from the very beginning to the last breath, the fear of everything, from everything and of and about everyone. Both the good achievements and the terrible failures result from fear. We worship God out of fear, we kill others out of fear! We fall in love out of fear, the fear of loneliness, one of the bitter types of fear. We develop various illnesses, again, because of fear, just think of migraines, these wicked migraines, aren’t they, how our bodies translate their fears in a primitive yet painful way?

In that dream, it all seemed clear! If at the end of the story, no matter the story was a short or a long one, everything will be lost, our possessions, our health, our memories, and the containers that we called them our bodies, everything will be lost, our beloved places and most cruelly our beloved ones. We will have vague memories of our long - sometimes boring -lives, only mirages of our realities. So, why cant we just take a breath, smile and enjoy the ride, and kick FEAR out of our lives, till it shrewdly seeps back again.

I had a good sleep, I woke up in a good mood, I enjoyed a hearty breakfast, now sipping my coffee and trying to remember that it has always been fear. I am looking forward to having another moment of enlightenment and hopefully that time I will be awake!
