RE: The monsters under the bed

in #thoughts5 years ago

Dear @tarazkp

Absolutely great read and interesting choice of subject. Love it.

Topic of fear has been always very close to my heart. As a passionate western boxing coach I need to deal with fear quite often (pretty much whenever my students join any serious competitions).

To understand where fear is coming from and to accept that emotion and overcome - it's a real challenge for many.

A world that is not rainbows and sparkles, filled with people that didn't get enough hugs as children, and worse.

I love how you described it :)

I wonder how many people have faced their fears and regretted the experience - and how many have chosen not to and regretted the experience.

Within my lifetime I faces number of fears, especially once being younger and travelling across the world and sometimes visiting awful and uneasy places (like Palestine).

Overcoming fear of moving around almost cost me life and I also witnessed someone being stabbed almost right in front of my eyes. Till today I regret experiencing that place. I wish I would just stay home, being to worried to visit that country.

ps. If you dont mind, I will share this post with some other people I know and engage with. I found it really worth reading :)

Yours
Piotr

Fear in my opinion, is an inherent condition of the human being, we all fear the intruder, the unknown and change, the important thing is to learn to handle our fears.

Less words. More substance! A FEARtastic comment by all standards!

I believe it is good to see a little of the violence that plagues this world currently as perhaps afterward, one is willing to do something to end the suffering.

Wow..... What a beautiful piece of thought @tarazkp! Really a different angle.... to settle down all the differences.

Dear @tarazkp

I just realized that I never actually thanked you for your reply. I really appreciate that you're so very responsive.

I also wanted to make some suggestion.

My impression is, that the hardest part of attracting attention on STEEMIT is the fact, that our audience have very little chance to actually find our publications. Lack of solid notification system is an obvious issue. And regardless how hard I would try - there is very little chance I would find out about your new interesting publications (my feed is just flooded with to many posts).

Please allow me to share some suggestion with you. If you would ever publish content related to blockchain, crypto, artificial intelligence, psychology etc. then perhaps you could simply send me memo with link to that post.

This way not only I would have a chance to read your publication, but I will also upvote it right away with 20k SP voting power. If I would consider it interesting then I may also share it with wider audience.

Please let me know what do you think.

Cheers, Piotr

Hi @crypto.piotr,

As usual, a mind blowing comment from you.

Thanks for the memo and also for sending me the link of this v.v.very interesting publication.

"....... deal with fear quite often (pretty much whenever my students join any serious competitions)"

This fear arises as a result of your concern towards the well being of those students whom you consider so close to your heart!

".... sometimes visiting awful and uneasy places (like Palestine)."

Oh yes! the unrest over there will definitely make us uneasy. No doubt about it.

"...... someone being stabbed almost right in front of my eyes.... "

Oh, my God! How cruel has this humanity become into? This is atrocious. How on the earth can they think of taking a life by stabbing so brutally? Oh my dear soul, please rest in peace.

"Till today I regret experiencing that place. I wish I would just stay home, being to worried to visit that country."

Such is the extent of the scar it created deep in your humanitarian heart was unable to digest it. And I would say this as a 'regrettable experience'.
