Fear...

The dark, storms, people accross the street, pain... It all seems to be causes for fear along with countless other things. The unknown is what fear is, not knowing what will happen, not knowing if it will cause great pain or loss. Not being able to see past the flash of lightning, not knowing what the people on the street feel like doing. Fear is a chain that holds our lives, sometimes in check and sometimes in a crippling manner. To live a life without fear is to be a fool, and to not know what consequence means. To live a life controlled by fear is to be a fool, and to not know freedom.

But to live knowing that you are affraid, and making a choice, to understnad that you don't know what might happen, but to push on, to overcome, and make the choice you think is right. That is to live and to be wise.
