Overcame the fear, but . .. ...

Humans are known as the best creatures on this earth, and they are the best creatures because they have intelligence and they are quite brave. They have the courage to fight against something that's more powerful than them because power is not something that only depends on physical ability. It does not matter how powerful a person is, he must have something that he is afraid of. Some people accept that they fear something, while many people don't accept their fear in front of others, thinking that it's something related to dignity.

I think the example of ghosts is something very common for most of us. I'm very confident that most of us are afraid of ghosts. Our logical mind always says that there are no ghosts, and as people living in this digital world, we say that there are no ghosts in this world, but when someone tells us to visit a grave on a dark night alone, we wouldn’t be ready to go. What's the reason behind this? The answer is very simple. Most of the people are afraid of ghosts, and that's the reality, even if they don't want to accept it. Fear can be different from person to person.

We always try to avoid those things or those situations that we fear. Thinking that it's the best way to protect ourselves, but sometimes our fate makes the situation like that we need to face the thing that we fear most. Have you ever faced such a situation? Sometimes it also helps us to overcome our fear when we face that kind of situation also but it's not the case all the time. Sometimes it also ends up making us more fearful at the end and it's not something we expect.

I think I wasn't a brave person as a child. I used to get afraid easily and there were many things I was afraid to do. I used to get afraid of many creatures like cow, dog or hen but I needed to face those and I never came out from most of the fear till now. So today I'm going to share about the fear that I could overcome and it's the fear of ghosts.

I used to be afraid of ghosts when I was a child. The fear would not usually trigger unless I heard the story of ghost or went through a dark, quiet place alone. There was a radio 📻 show that used to tell stories about ghosts. Some of my friends used to listen to it, and that's why I also gave it a try. At that time, I was in the village, and almost everyone used to go to sleep before 21:00. The show used to start at 00.00, and it used to end at 2:00, and at that time people used to be in a deep sleep. The overall environment used to be quiet, and there was a pin-drop silence and it's very suitable for giving the feeling of horror.

Unfortunately, all the time I needed to go to the washroom, and the washroom in village was outside the house. To reach there I needed to go outside. Just imagine the situation. I listened to the stories of ghosts and after a while I needed to go outside in the dark night alone as everyone was sleeping. The feeling was terrible, but I needed to go outside. So, I needed the courage and finally I came up with the logic that "if god protect me, then there is nothing in this world that can harm me and if god want me dead, then there is nothing in this world that can protect me". Those are the statements I used to console me, but this statement gave me so much courage that within a few weeks I overcame the fear of ghosts. Now, I am not afraid of ghosts usually. Is it actually true? I doubt.

Few years ago, I went to my grandmother’s (mother's mother) house. In the nighttime I was outside of house approximately at 22:00 with my father. My father was talking to someone on the mobile. And I was quite close enough to him to use his mobile hotspot. I heard some sounds which were quite normal in my opinion but in the day surprisingly I became afraid. The place was very close to my grandmother's house, which might take 40 seconds to reach there, and my father was close to me, and I was seeing him in front of my eyes. In that time 22:00 is such a time people stay awake and the place wasn't dark either. What I felt in that day is still a mystery to me.
