Fear
Fear is going around the country right now; worries about work, will I have enough money, will I keep my standard of living, will we have enough to eat, what will happen, how will we manage after the crisis?
People who have been resting on the comfortable illusion of a perfect world are suddenly waking up, competition is in full swing. In the company employees are dismissed, hopefully not me, the others, yes, man is just an egoist. The neighbor loses his house, well, just not me, that's important!
At the same time, almost 40% of the population in Central Europe are overweight, they should actually lose weight, almost all of them have a roof over their heads, for today at least there are no big worries, nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, but today everything is fine with most people.
Nevertheless, I hear more and more often that fear creeps into people's heads, transfigures the view, contaminates thoughts. No one, really no one, has to starve in Europe, no one (with a few exceptions) has to sleep on the street, hardly anyone has real existential worries, social security systems are in place, those who want help get it.
The situation is different in the so-called Third World, where there are no state institutions to provide support, to exempt people from paying rent, to put food on the table, to guarantee health.
But the worries, the thoughts, what if, what could come, how will it be, why me, why, why. Who does not ask remains happy!
To worry today for tomorrow is useless, we still have in abundance, our supplies are full, our roofs are covered, our houses warm and dry.
At least 98% of the things we worry about never come to pass!

Worrying is putting tomorrow's clouds in front of today's sun!

Fears and worries are siblings, they condition each other, without worries no fears, if you want to live carefree, arrange yourself with the things which are just not perfect! Then the fears will also become less, disappear on the horizon.
It will show what kind of person you are, do not be impressed. If you now manage to free yourself from your ego, you can experience your personal "enlightenment"! Fears are a misuse of your thoughts, a waste of energy!
It is not he who is not afraid who is brave, but he who overcomes his fear.
- Mahatma Gandhi - Indian lawyer - 1869 to 1948
If we knew what love was, if we could define it, we would have stopped making up love stories two thousand years ago. We need love because we have the need to believe in something
