The omnipresence of fear throughout our daily lives can be observed regularly, whether within ourselves individually, or society as a whole...
Originally, in its primitive form, fear was a defense mechanism, a key to our survival, to alert us of the dangers of the world in which we live, but as we adapted to more domestic lifestyles, our fears adapted as well, personalizing themselves to "better suit" our needs.
This new fear assumes many forms; the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of mediocrity, and the fear of ostracism are just a few in which fear now manifests itself, all illusions forged in order to reduce risk for the sake of keeping us "safe and secure" by today's standards, when in reality, safety, not unlike perfection, is no more than a superstition.
It is this fear that holds us back from opportunity, withholds us from success, suppresses our desires, squanders our dreams, and keeps us from realizing our maximum potential in life...
Will we succumb to, or face our fears?
