Thoughts of a teenager

Fear¿

What's your biggest fear?

~
Fear :
• emotion ;
• An unpleasant feeling triggered by the perception of danger, real or imagined.
~

Something haunting, looming.
Something you can't help but be uncertain about.

darkness or ghosts, drowning, being stuck in closed spaces, loss of loved ones or pets, losing control of owns life, being abandoned, losing sanity, failure, not having a happy life in the end, sudden death or death itself.

Self.

~ we have control over almost everything that we do.
( The fact that we choose to ignore it is a different point.)

But we have the power with us, within us.
If seen, the graph of our kind's development from the first man upto the modern man, it goes up up and up.

Progress is inevitable.
Progress means productive, but also destructive.
And I can't help but think,
That it will be us who destroy ourselves.
Because power can destroy one if not handled perfectly.

I'm scared of my own capabilities.
I don't use my knowledge enough.
But what if I do?

The brain controls every voluntary aspect of the body.
But what about the involuntary?
Nobody can control that.
Whether it be uncontrollable joy, or despair (emotions)
For me that involuntary aspect is my thoughts.

Sometimes people can't help it if their thoughts divert into a negative, self destructive direction.
And before they learn to actually control them, they realise they lost the control a long time ago.

They lose hope of having a hope.
They are what destroys them in the end.

If I go numb, would I stop cowering?

Don't let your fears control you, don't overthink them.
They are a natural feeling of insecurity in everyone.
They are essential.

But not your priority.
