Fear

This thing about fear and guilt...

Fear is the most basic and fundamental human feeling. I say basic because from your infant stage you're born prone to fear; you fear the dark and the emptiness; you fear the blurry and what you may encounter in the unknown. I say fundamental because- in life generally you learn from trial and error, you lift up a glass jar, it falls and breaks and you learn. You cook a meal, it burns and noting you observe. But not all life lessons fall under trial and error. There are just those things which if you fail at- there just ain't no coming back.

Which is where fear comes in. Being scared keeps you within you lane, and usually if your basic instinct is to run away you ain't wrong. Our elders- they grew up with fear; which had it's pros and cons necessarily. I remember how scared I was to get a beating, be at home or at school. When I was a kid back then the very thought of boboko baffles me

...

That kept me from messing up, it kept a lot of us from messing up. And the guilt we get whenever we strayed left our prides lying in the dust. We knew we didn't know it all, we weren't above all. Fear reminded us we lacked strength and knowledge, we didn't know what awaits in the darkness and we demanded help. The problem started when we were told that being scared is whinny and being brave is smart. Just how many scars have you earned just because you're gutsy? How many teeth have you lost? How many times have you been utterly humiliated and shamed?

Before I go let me say, as I said before you may fall today and earn a scar on your cheek, get up and fall tomorrow to earn another one. A scar is just a scar. Those who say never fear, must've multiple lives. Because death is a different kind of fall, one from which you don't just get a scar and live on... King Solomon says: The reverence of the Most High is the beginning of all wisdom.God by mere definition is greater than death, He is mightier, and knows a whole lot more.
