Who we are.

The majority of the time people are completely ran by their emotions. It is how we feel at certain times that decides what we want to do. These emotions are normally there to ensure that we are kept safe and that all of our needs are met. That is why society exists, to look after us. People can break society's laws and it will still work. You could smoke, and some people frown upon that. Or you could steal, and everything will still be working just like it was yesterday. I believe those people steal out of fear. Fear that they might not have enough. The greatest driving force of fear is usually the fear that someone will not love us, or that we may not get enough love. It takes a very strong person to realize that we are ran by our emotions and see past that. I know I am ran by my emotions. Almost entirely, it is only recently that I remembered what was so important in this world. That is experiences and relationships. I feel like doing things out of fear makes it so you don't get to have good relationships or experiences. For instance, I want to drive my friend Justice up to Boise to see a girl that he loves. If I had too much fear I wouldn't be able to fill up my tank with gas because I may be afraid I won't have enough money. Or that Emily won't like me when she meets me and I am forced to sit there and watch Justice make his moves on her. But I trust Justice and I believe in myself. That is why I want to go on the trip anyway. Today I want you to analyze what is going on in your life. Don't look at other people, don't blame others for your own emotional problems. If someone is doing something you don't like, it is not because they did it that you are angry, it's because it is something that you didn't like. Look at all the things you do out of fear. Maybe it is that you do everything you can to please others so that you can be eventually loved. Or maybe its that you steal things so that you can feel like you have enough, and that people will pay attention to you. That all seems unimportant or stupid but I truly believe that if you do anything out of fear, it won't be doing any good but making it so you are too afraid to do much else. The main point of this post is to help people understand that people are ok. People in debt are ok, people who have addictions are ok, and people who are afraid they will never be loved enough are A OH K. I struggle with fear. Even though some people may think otherwise. Sometimes it is all I ever think about.
