What is it really?

An emotion? Or an alarm?

Or something more?

There are many different levels of fear and many ways of looking at it. The stereotype optimist sees it as a barrier that one has to overcome and label as a signal. The rest of the people see it as a heavy threat. Fear exists in many areas of life, even the unthinkable situations have its presence.

Such circumstances of this cloud of fear has regined so majesticallly in human society that it is now not important anymore. Fear has been strongly commercialsed, painfully negoiated with and now... Its distorted. Like almost everything else in the world anyway, so that can be forgiven.

But the element of fear does not only partake to singular matters or even matters at all. It is not only that nagging feeling that puts you away from doing things nor that little voice that paralyzes you from commiting actions.

Fear can transcend that, and a lot more. Sometimes, we fear without knowing we fear. When our fear is obvious, the results are painful. But when our fear is illusionary, the process is torture.

Otherwise, why hold so much respect to 'fear' ? Its not as simple as 'scared' and 'afraid'. It is much more.

More to the extent that words cannot translate.

And that is something I fear.
