Let Go of Fear...

It is a well known fact that when faced with a very serious challenge, where ones survival may be at stake, the human mind immediately switches to one of two modes... fight or flight! This notion has stood the test of time but today a new twist is being given to this tale, this natural human psyche is being used against us day in and day out to deny us the right to question, the will to act and express what we feel is wrong.

We the people gave the state the power, gave the government the means to establish its writ but what we asked in return were our rights, the rights every human deserves irrespective of cast, creed or color.But once this power had been bestowed on the rulers they grew weary of the fact the knowledgeable people would one day question their actions and could take back the power granted to them. This left the elite ruling class insecure, they needed a means to silence the people, they needed an argument so comprehensive that the masses would agree to their silent obedient subjugation. And at this moment the used the age old weapon, a weapon so powerful it could crush nations, cities and many a generation... They used the power of fear, they introduced you to one menace after another. Some occurred naturally others were created to serve the purpose. These dealers of fear have existed for centuries, Rome that was created a republic, fell to its knees when one man Cesar used the power of fear to ask the people to relinquish their rights.

Today we see the same scenes, you and i we never question the long queues at security checkpoints. We do not question barbed wires, blocked roads and gun totting guards in every nook and corner. We do not question the media reporting false lies, we do not question the bloodshed swept aside as collateral damage. We don't question mobs raiding religious places, we do not question rise in fuel prices to accommodate the lavish spending of the ruling elite.We see no evil, hear no evil and do not speak about evil but that does not change the fact that evil exists and is slowly engulfing us all, we have ducked our heads in sand hoping that when we bring it out all problems would be gone. we have lost our rights, our way of life, our sovereignty, our peace of mind, we have lost everything to fear...

I am no fan of civil disobedience or mutiny but what i do believe in is living all your life in fear one day  a long time from now you will also question your existence but by then fear would have taken away everything from you and when you look back at everything you will realize you relinquished it willingly not because you liked it but because of the fear of the unknown that never occurred! Stop living in fear, face your demons fight them defeat them, think over the fact that living under so many fears have you actually lived. Your life, and your means to pass your life are promised and are provided by a source way more powerful than all the things you fear.

Let go of your fears, reclaim your life!
