What is Fear ..


Is it the fear of heights, shivering while approaching the 16th floor terrace of your apartment block just to enjoy the occasional breeze?

Is it the fear of scoring 0 in the test even though you knew it was your fault that you partied late last night?

Is it the fear of a lizard, tiny and harmless as it may look!

Is it the fear of getting tetanus shot when you are in dire need of one?

Is it the fear of getting trampled by vehicles when you are crossing the road say, even a one-way?

Is it the fear of injuring yourself while playing rugby that makes you not try it even once?

Lastly, Fear of losing a loved one, or hurting a loved one …Which is your worst fear?


  • "The only thing we have to fear is fear it'self - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
  • "All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears--of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark, or speaking before a Rotary Club, and of the words "Some A ssembly Required."
    ---- Dave Barry

  • "Why are we scared to die? Do any of us remember being scared when we were born?"
    ---- Trevor Kay

  • "Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it."
    ---- Lt. John B. Putnam Jr. (1921-1944)

@bhavna

overcoming fear is always never easy,but it is surely not impossible :)

stage fright is overcome only when you take up chances to go and participate onstage.it takes a simple set like that :)

i am sure you will overcome all your fears,one step at a time :)
