Are You Afraid?

This is a question, but what a question, afraid of what? Now does that not send a battery of questions running through your head? Is it the income tax that you are afraid of? Are you afraid of someone that is bigger or more powerful than you are?

No you are yourself a powerful man with muscles in all of the right places. You do not fear for physical pain. But what about the monetary loss that swept in unexpected last week, No, no monetary losses Bank balance is balancing out right for you.

Something is wrong with the health of one of your children is it that what you are afraid of? Or is it perhaps your sweet wife that cannot stop worrying about that disgusting habit of yours smoking in front of the children. One should give up this nasty habit it is not setting a good example for the children and what about the health of the little ones does that not put the fear of God in you when you look into those sweet innocent faces.

You still say that you are not afraid what about the weather last week or was it back in the monsoon period of the rain down pouring making you to wonder whether it was going to be the end of the world. Did that make you afraid?

Are you afraid when boarding a train, a bus or even worse an airplane all of these means of transport give many people fear, Yes accidents can and do happen. But why should it happen to you, yes why you? You are not the only one that is traveling today. You are not the only one that has just deposited a large sum of money in the bank. Why should it be you to be the one to loose his money? Yes why you?

I will let you all into a small secret; I have lost all of my once fancied fears. The secret is that one ages over the years. Yes it is as simple as that; one is getting older and older. So one looses a sum of money. Something else comes along. One is old one knows that ones time is nearly over. It is soon time to depart. Do it gracefully. You feel ill for how long and the Medical care is getting better and better.

Now do you feel a little better have some of those fears gone away? Put a smile on your face let a little confidence spread all over your face let the world see that you have conquered your fears. You too are gradually growing older. Bern
