Some mental health people have suggested that there are really just two emotions: fear and love. Whether or not that is true, fear is a frequent companion of the human life. It seems that fear is at times generated by governments: whether that be fear of nuclear destruction or the fears about the predicted fiscal cliff that is catching the news in the U.S. It is helpful to remember the fear that was circulating in the U.S. in the early 1900's that there were never going to be enough horses to meet the needs for transportation and work for the population. Very soon, horses were not needed at all, as the combustion engine took the place of horse power. The calamity some people predicted would happen to all of our computers as 1999 turned into 2000 never occurred. It is not that bad things never happen; it is just that it is a waste of our time to worry about things -- most of which never do happen. For today, let us look at whatever we fear through the lens of False Expectations Appearing Real. Perhaps what we fear is not even real.

Fear
"A good antidote to the poisonous effects of fear based negativity is to remember the sage's advise from old... "FEAR, rightly understood, translates: ." Rev. Richard Kiefer
