Fear and
adrenaline? What is so significant about these? Are they important or not? Well
they are. They are the things which make us human, it makes us real. Without
fear we have no feeling. Without adrenaline, we have no options.
FEAR-
It is a human
instinct which we grow up with. We can fear anyone and anything. Clowns,
spiders. Even ourselves. I noticed that I feared myself. I was in constant
danger of myself. For what I would do to myself and others if I let that fear
take over. I used to live in my own world where I would always be looking over
my shoulder. Always running from myself. It scared me a lot and I didn’t want
to tell anyone, I didn’t want to say anything. I used to hurt myself to get rid
of the fear; I used to cut to numb my feeling to it. It was endless. No relief,
just pain. I also have other fears like clowns. Gawd, they scare the hell out
of me. It must be their rather insane laughter and twisted sense of humour
which does it. Or it could be that they were really strange. Getting the
shudders just thinking about them now.
I know a few
people with unusual fears. Socks, yes, those things you put on your feet. It’s funny
to read but believe me, she is terrified of socks. Here’s some more:
- Hats
- Rings- People
- TV
- Music
- Spiders
- And the end of the world
My view on fear
is that it’s a warning system and a lesson. We learn to feel fear and then we
learn to avoid it. My fear of myself is still here, I avoid slipping back in my
own world, not just for me but for others, for those who love me. It’s hard to
explain in word and the only way to explain is to go back to that world and
feel it again. If you would like me to do that then I will, but it will hurt
me.
ADRENALINE-
Here’s a question.
Would you fight to the bitter end or run away? Fight or flight? Most of you
will say fight but would you really? When it came to it, would you actually
fight? Picture this:
You’re in a trench with bodies of your friends who are
dead. You are on your own with only your fists and no weapons. You have been
hiding in the cold dark mud. Hungry and thirsty. You are always hoping it would
end and that you are in a warm bed back home. There is no hope for survival. Your
senses are acute and you can hear people walking towards you. Chances are that
they are hunting for survivors and there is only you. What would you do? Fight
to the bitter end hungry, cold, thirsty, weak and hopeless. Or would you run?
Adrenaline is
something which gives you a high. It prepares you to fight. It can prepare you
to run too. I would personally run, take my chances and run. I wouldn’t care if
I died but I would die a proud man. It is basically your body releasing endorphins,
no not dolphins, those endorphins then go to your brain and stimulates
everything. Your sight, hearing, smell, feel, thinking and touch. It gives us
an edge which then gives us two choices. Fight being one of them and flight
being the other.
So there we have
it. My first new blogpost. Not the best but it is something which may interest
you. Until next time, keep reading.
