Is fear simply an illusion?
by Emma
If we unscramble the form of an idea then we can see the pure depth and disipher it’s true meaning.
Is it the fear we are afraid of, or is it our perception of its meaning?
We, individually have the power to change this thought. Challenge it and conquer it
The mind of a deep thinker…or complete rubbish…it is all down to interpretation and perception…
What’s interesting is a study showed that it’s likely we are only born with two common fears, falling and loud noise. We pick up the rest along the way, so yeah I guess it is a bit of an illusion, we fear the consequences of things really I think.

I think it is really interesting. We associate our fears with negative experiences, so I guess it is realistically luck of the draw. If our experience was positive, then the percieved fear would become a stimulant. The brain is a crazy paradox 🙂

I totally agree, it’s an interesting topic and all down what we see and experience. I have irrational fears yet I’d happily do a skydive tomorrow 🙂

You are braver than me. I’d like to ‘think’ I would sky dive yet the reality would challenge me. I like the thought of pushing boundaries though. Fear and stimulation are actually tightly linked. Both produce adrenaline and serotonin 🙂

My summer 2015 challenge is to go scuba diving. I’m hoping to embrace the coral reefs and underwater Kingdom. Although it scares the hell out of me 🙂

I’m determined. I think fear is only conquered if we can balance logically both alternative consequences 🙂
