This guy doesn't seem trustworthy to me.That's all I really wanted to say.
. If that makes sense.
applaud much of what
sidi expressed in
reply #2.
And then you wrote:
I am just trying to subdue my fear because it consumes me in every way
I need to say something about fear.
In evolutionary terms, fear was
the very first emotion. Why?
It was the first emotion because
those animals that developed a
fear response were more likely
to SURVIVE than those animals
that didn't.
Fear evolved in our emotional
system as a SURVIVAL MECHANISM.
If you noticed, when I wrote
my response earlier, I qualified
what I said about your focusing
on positives, with a limiting
time span. . . "on this day."
There are days we need a
break from what's oppressing
us and a day focusing on
just positives can be a
necessary respite.
However, I urge you in the
strongest terms to NOT
totally subdue your fear.
Your fear is a biological
mechanism whose purpose
is to keep you ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By all means, focus on
positive things. But don't
ignore the negatives.
Doing so may put you
at risk.
Please take good care.
