Fear, it is a feeling, very real, very tangible, ever visible. It is a common belief that action is what overcomes fear, and the belief might be true in most cases. After all, if your fear is from real danger, acting to overcome, will put you in a situation better than not doing anything. However, not all fears stem from real danger, in fact, fear and its biochemical effects on the body do not necessarily stem from actual danger or actual suffering. Most of our fears, emerge from our all-powerful mind, which can create numerous dangerous situations just like it can create millions of bright futures. When this happens, the fear is imaginary or may be disproportional to the actual danger, and thus actions, no matter how consistent, can no longer alleviate the fear or the danger.

The problem is, that we cannot solve what we cannot comprehend, and comprehending imaginary dangers is challenging. The moment we try to analyze its rationale, it vanishes, but the very next moment it is back. I am sure we all have felt this feeling, lived through this fear, if you have you know this is what anxiety looks like. The continuous heaviness of the breathing, continuous fear of something dangerous in the future, continuous unrest even amidst holidays.
