The fear unknown...

Times too Often, I have felt ma self being stopped by this unknown fear of something devastating that I’m absolutely unaware of. It stops me from stepping ahead or putting ma foot down on something every time I feel strongly about the matters around me... May be this grappling fear is fear of not being understood by others...

Under such circumstances, I feel like:

Khud se baatein karte rehna
Baatein karte rehna
Aankhein moonde
Dil se apne
Baatein karte rehna

There r so many things in our day to day life that bother us; those we wish may change & those that can be changed merely if people around us become a bit more sensitive & concerned.. But we don’t speak out boz we fear that we might be standing alone in the crowd... & therefore it becomes really difficult to stand up for what we believed on it…
The basic fear that I comprehend is fear of facing rejection or non-acceptance from a peer group of those aliens, whom we are made a part of life..... Its a strange & ironical situation where we feel out of place yet we want to stay in the same place; may be because we feel at least secure there - if not comfortable (again afraid of an unknown danger)... Looks like we grow up being taught to be scared of dangers unknown which may be non-existent…
Under such hostile circumstances when our minds have been conditioned to accept things as they are & not to retaliate back, it becomes difficult to the extent of seemingly impossible, to stand up for ourselves..& we continue our life just like that, like Morpheus says in Matrix, “we live on, oblivious of the truth & our own self”... we continue to live a life of misery, uncertainty, indecisiveness & substitute & then finish of this dragging journey one day tired of fighting ourselves every time & losing again & again…Just because of this “One Fear”. If only we learn to stand up & say what we want to, unmindful of the consequences, we might find things are not that bad as we think... May be we could find people who think like us but can’t muster the courage to stand up & speak... & May be then this world will not seem as dreary as today… Boz there would be many then who would be living a life free from “The fear unknown”
