fear

One dictionary defines fear as a distressing emotion aroused buy impending danger, evil, or pain, whether the threat is real or imagined.

This bamboo bridge really scared me. Sorry, but I couldn't step on it. I tried but I knew I would fall if I dare to cross it.


Well, in the end my two partners succeeded in crossing this bridge while I waited at this end.


Hmmm... 

Actually, there are things that I really fear a lot. 

1. Losing the favor of my greatest love, Jehovah God. I would be nothing without him.

2. Losing a loved one in death... But death is a part of this imperfect life. Good thing, there's a hope of resurrection. Yet, it's still painful...

3. Failure. I dunno...I guess I am a perfectionist that I want everything I am doing is successful. I am imperfect so failure is inevitable.

4. Someone mad at me. Oh... I want to please everybody... tsk, tsk, tsk...

5. Being left alone and forgotten. I hate the idea of someone I love, leaves me. But that happens. All I can do is move on...ouch...and wait for his return.

and the list is endless...

They say, face your fears. Why would I put myself in a distressing situation when I can avoid it?

So next time, I'm gonna see that bamboo bridge, I'll opt to go to the next house. :)
