Funny,after I decided to confront my fear, stopped getting that dreadful feeling of anxiety.
It came to visit me again and again, today morning and I think it will do so for some more time, until it stops coming altogether.
No sooner, had I thought that I had almost found and overcome one of my fears, another came to visit me. This one said..will I be able to crack jokes, make others smile like I used to. I looked at it right in the eye, and it knew what I meant.
After that, I was able to be in the moment more than ever before. Like when I was talking to my colleague I was intensely present, and I think she felt it too. :)
God, why do we have all these fears.. Life would have been so beautiful without them.People would have loved each other more completely. They would have been more honest with each other.
Makes me wonder, would we have borders, if we didn't have any fears. There would one world, one community, all people living in harmony. Maybe people wouldn't have the fear of not having enough money, so everybody would be living in abundance. Everybody would be doing the work they love to do. Sounds like utopia. But it is possible if mankind can get rid of all it's fears.

Imagine, right now entire nations live in fear. So what do they do, they build up walls/borders, build up arms stockpiles, invade countries and spread fear. Funny isn't it.
Now you have certain sects, tribes or communities who feel threatened by something , so they get guns and bombs and terrorize people.
Are they trying to prove to themselves that they are not afraid, or are they just trying to prove that Your fear is bigger than my fear?
Only God knows, but their egos know better..
