Well, in the case of the person, let’s call him Bill, yes it’s a choice. It’s a fact that’s fairly well known and I’m sure most people at least know of someone who has been bitten by a dog at some point in their lives. Let’s look at the example of someone who is scared of dogs.īeing scared of dogs is a common fear and probably based on the fact that some (A lot) of dogs bite people.
Whether it does or not doesn’t really matter, when we’re talking about your feelings towards it and your fear. It’s either going to harm you, or it’s not. Fear only exists in your mindĪnything you’re scared of throughout your life can be anaylsed to be either a real or an imagined threat. People who do death drying stunts and put their lives at risk probably still experience some level of fear, (Well, most of them) but they’ve learned to suppress and control it. It’s not ‘easy’ to control your fear and choose not to experience it, but it’s certainly possible. People have the choice about how to react and how to view the world, and fear is one of the things we have a choice about. It exists ONLY in the minds of people who choose to experience it. No, when we say ‘fear is not real’ we mean it’s not something that exists in the world. One person might be terrified of heights while another loves them and feels most alive when looking down from the top floor of a building. You can’t say that one thing is the ‘source’ or cause of fear because that is different for everyone. When we say ‘not real’ we mean not something that can be physically seen. The reason I loved it so much was mainly for this quote. The film was a good film as well, not spectacular but it was good. Of course there were nice visuals of wing suits, action, fighting and all of that but it was this ‘fear is not real’ quote that made me pay attention and eagerly await the films release. When I first saw the film trailer, it was this quote that drew me in, made me listen up.
It IS all in our minds based on our thoughts and feelings about events that may or MAY NOT ever happen. It’s an interesting quote because it makes you realise that when you really deconstruct ‘fear’, it’s not real. That quote is from the movie ‘After Earth’ and was spoken by Will Smith.
We are all telling ourselves a story and that day mine changed.” Do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future.
