Fear//Love

Location

One of the most common human emotions is fear.

fear is provoked by

spiders

heights

water.

But you can retain yourself from these fears,

stay away from spiders

don't ride in airplanes

choose not to swim.

However

some fears are internal

displayed from the inside working their way out.

These fears are harder to diagnose;

doubt

embarresment

inability.

You see, these fears are created from within

and they are less avoidable.

Although, these should not be labled so easily as fears,

but rather as symptoms.

Symptoms of an inward form of self-hate.

Because the fear is from the user themselves.

These symptoms and ideas of fear push the user down a hole

deeper

and deeper.

The cure is harder to decipher.

It is the other most common human emotion.

Love.

To some this is an easy concept, formed together by others and themselves.

But to these victims of internal fear,

it's asking for the completion of almost the impossible.

However,

the easiest way for someone to love themselves

is for them to show love to others.

Show kindness;

receive kindness.

Love is a contagious cure to the corruption of the mind.

And best of all, it's free.

Sounds almost too good to be true.

Don't believe it will work?

Try it out.
