Fear and Cowards… The Death of Passion

Fear is the only limit of mankind, it's the only obstacle in the way of progress... and it's the most intense spiritual suffering. We covet, we want and yearn so much for things, people, experiences... and the fear suffocates us, stopping us, destroying our lives...

Life would be so simple, so full and so intense... if fear would not exist at all. We are afraid of the new... we are afraid of people... of ourselves... we are afraid of what might happen... eventually we are afraid of just really living our lives.

If only the sky would be the limit... if only we could go after what we want without any hesitation... if only... fear could be melted into the fire of desires... How many times have you wanted to try new things, to have new experiences, to meet new people, to travel to new places... how many times have you stopped for a second to estimate the risks... and in the end giving up?

Fear is only an illusion... a false and absurd obstacle between us and real life... an over-protective shield consisting in prejudices and projected scenarios. It doesn’t exist… such thing as “caution”... This is only a false way to simulate that you’re living... you can't know in advance what will happen even if you'd had all the wisdom of the world... all the scientific statistics and all of the weather reports. It's just... fear. That's all it is.

And cowards... Cowards are those who embrace fear with all of their being and call it caution. Cowards are those who consider that fear can be a possible buffer between life and danger... Cowards are dangerous... yes, they are those who hide their own fears behind a curtain of "wisdom." They are those who will tell you that you're reckless when you live your life to the fullest... They are the ones who will stop your euphoric mood just to "bring you down to the earth"... They are the ones who are incapabile to live their own lives and will not let others to enjoy life either.

So... overcome fear, conquer the cowards... live your life despite all of them... throw yourself completely and live with the strong belief that God will reward your boldness!
