Putting Things Into Perspective

Posted in Inspiration by Amanda at 03:58 on 29th June 2008

Fear is one of the most common emotions for us all, however I don’t believe we were born with the ability to connect to this part of our brain.

Somewhere along the transition from birth to approximately 3 years of age we all seem to gain this sixth sense of fear and what it is to be afraid.

A small child of 2 years appears to have no fear, they don’t seem to grasp danger and are totally unaware of themselves.

Most parents know if you allowed a child of this age to stumble alone on the side walk then it wouldn’t be long before the child would head towards the road without a care in the world.

I believe that parents and family bring fear into a child from a very small age, often from projecting their own fears on to the child.

Within a depressed person fear is more prominent than usual, a whole life can be revolved around dramatic fear which in turn manifests itself into anxiety.

However if a thought process has been planted into a brain then surely it can be removed.

The basic elements may stay but the fear and self destruction that leads to panic attacks and some forms of O.C.D should be treatable?
