A rhetorical question put by my senior in the office: "Hamaari itni phat ti kyun hai, yaar?" {What are we so afraid of?} But the question I am going to ask is not rhetoric. Its simple to ask: "Why are we so afraid?" Does being afraid change the consequences? Here comes The Good , The Bad and The Ugly of it.The Good: Good continues to be afraid of doing any bad; The Bad: Evil continues to be ruthlessly fearless; The Ugly: Normal continues to be unbothered.Thats the philosophical touch to it. The part that I want to lay emphasis on is: "What our lives would be if were not so afraid?"
We have inkling to the answer of these questions.
Marianne Williamson said "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us".
Ralph Waldo Emerson said "Every Man is a God but playing a fool"
That says that all of us have fire within but with fear we douse the fire under us to achieve our greatness.What would have happened if Captain Gopinath would have continued to be afraid and serve in the army, he would not have made possible flying to the common man in India. What if Milkha Singh had continued to do petty jobs, He would not have become 'Flying Sikh'. It is only us who has to break our shackles and be free
