fear

ah fear, terrible, controlling, paralyzing fear.

we all have fears, there is not a person without them, though they may seem to be without it.

they appear to be greater than the average man. these people take action where others would freeze. they appear free, while others chained. they seem fearless.

but great men are not born of a lack of fear.

no

great men have fear, just as much as you or I, maybe more.

What seperates the average man from a great man is courage.

Fear may never leave us, maybe it will, but until we can learn to act, especially in the midst of fear, we will all continue to live our lives a prisoner to it. A mere puppet, each string pulled by what we should or shouldn’t do. Each potential action, each hope, each dream, stolen by what-ifs. By imagined futures that more than likely will never arrive.
