feargame

human beings play a lot of games in their lives

and one of them is the fear game

we readily hold & wield fear

we hold it because we do not understand everything

it often protects us

but just as often it holds us back from greater discoveries

we often wield it to get some sort of advantage over others

we do this knowingly & unknowingly sometimes

we even use it to protect others

but usually based on our own fears

we teach our children our fears

and pass them along from one generation to the next

fear has a tremendous impact in our world today

it more than anything else has shaped our present world

more than logic & understanding probably

fear is not really something that we can agree is all bad or all good

i think there's general agreement that it's not one of the good elements of the virtual world

fear can be fought against

it can be diminished & even overcome

anyone at any time can minimize its impact on day-to-day life

for fear is often a parasite that eats away within our virtual lives

eats away time

that could otherwise be spent on more productive thinking & doing
