The fear

Humans are indeed the greatest creatures on this earth, and I think there is no doubt about it. It's natural for humans to be the bravest creatures. But it does not mean that humans are free from fear. Depending on the person, the fear can be different. So far, I haven't seen anyone who is totally fearless of anything. As a human, I have many shortcomings, and I also have fears about certain things.

In the past, I used to fear things that seemed funny, but it's something that made me stronger and helped me to be brave in life. I am going to share about today. And the thing I used to fear most in the past was ghosts. I was totally unaware of the fear of the ghost till I was in class 7. Let me share how I discovered the fear and how it helped me to be brave.

When I was in class 7, one of my friends shared about a radio show where real haunted stories used to be shared. The radio show used to start every Friday night at 11.59. The duration of the show was two hours. The first time, I heard the first few stories, and after hearing a few stories, I stopped hearing because I realized everyone except me was sleeping, and there was pin-drop silence. Understanding the situation, I became afraid because on that day, I felt the terror of a ghost. I didn't know why I was so afraid of it. I wanted to go to the washroom, but I was so afraid that I didn't dare to come outside of my blanket.

After that day, I used to be afraid every time I wanted to go to the washroom at night. I could not bother others every time because of my fear, and later I came up with a logic to gather courage. The source of my courageous single statement was "Nothing (especially ghosts) can harm me if God protects me, and if death is written in my fate, then there is no way I can escape it." The statement in my mind helps me to face the situation bravely because, in that case, what I want actually doesn't matter. In that case, you can say that I used my faith in God against the fear of ghosts, and that actually makes sense from a perspective. Later, after fighting with the fear of Ghost, it actually boosted my confidence and helped me to be more confident about what I do, and I almost stopped fearing anything as I kept leaving it to the faith of God. And it is also the source of my courage.

I thought I wouldn't fear anything in my entire life after that, but I was wrong. Even if I think that I have a robotic mind, I am still afraid of one thing, and it's death. I am not afraid of my death. I am actually afraid of losing my beloved people, especially my parents. In my life, both my parents were hospitalized twice in critical condition, and that was the time when I realized the real fear of death. Fortunately, my parents overcame it, but the fear still exists. I think I won't be able to eliminate it in my lifetime. I wish I could overcome the fear, but I feel it's not going to be so easy.
