27.Fear brake

 

Fear brake

 

A reaction instinct

Built-in mechanism

Switches on for survival

Sensing near danger or pain

 

In fear one's eyes widen

The pupils dilate

The upper lip rises

The brows draw together

 

Muscles tighten

Perspiration occurs

Heartbeat increase

Body may freeze up

Adrenaline pumped out

 

Fear of heights, of spiders

Of open spaces, of confined spaces

Of the sea, of sinning
Of failure, of changes and of death          

 

Fear a wild horse like

Need a strong reign

When mind buckles down

End up fear psychosis-phobia

 

Fear matter of mind as courage

Courage isn’t absence of fear

But judgment something else

More important than fear 

 

Conquering fear wisdom begins

Fear a darkroom negatives harbour

Fear tax conscience pays to guilt

Fear that robs mind its powers

 

Fear is projection of mind

Something not happened yet

Past painful incident might repeat

Cherished pleasure might not

 

 

Delusions, like selfishness

Attachment and anger

Arise from ignorance

 Fear cause is also ignorance

 

When fear take over completely

Make one 'freeze' and helpless

 Life become difficult

Illogical projections rule over

 

For some fear is fun

Like riding a roller coaster

Just a free fall bungee-jumping

An adrenaline-rush drug like

 

What ever fear is

It’s like brake in a car

Use it sparingly, need to move

Have courage gas pedal to use
