Fear is a familiar feeling.
It has been with us for ages:
consuming us like wildfire.
devouring our dreams, wishes and aspirations.

Fear is something we will never understand.
No matter how prepared we are,
we will crumble when fear comes.
No matter how strong we are,
we will wither before fear.

Fear is timeless.
It never chooses a time, or place.
Fear just comes.

Fear has no reason.
You don't have to be happy or sad for fear to come.
You don't have to be worried or calm for fear to come.

Fear is unjust.
This is the most salient quality of fear.
It arrives at a moment when you feel like everything is finally alright.

Fear is also fair.
Yes, even when it is unjust, it is fair.
It is fair because it keeps us alive.
It is a flashing signal for when we are about to break down.

Fear is comforting.
It is comforting because it is what makes us human.
Fear makes us understand that life is a battlefield, not a walk in a park.

Fear is not all bad.
This feeling *****
but on a bad day,
it's all we've got.

And know that...
it is okay to surrender
to Fear.
