Our fears

I don't know if it been said by someone wise that, at times our actions are driven by fears, but I don't think it needs to be said, because that is just logic and common sense. We all are afraid or fear a thing, an event, a person, a place, losing control of a situation, or just the unknown. The mode of our predestined ending is on top of my list of fears. Fears can give us nightmares which remind me what I used to fear in my early twenties. I was always afraid of not been part of social groups. I always wanted to be part of an event with the extended family. By any means I was not a socialite but I was afraid of not getting invited to a picnic to celebrate a birthday, a baby shower and so. I dreaded the time that my kids wouldn't enjoy my company, and that I would have to spend time alone. However as I get older I enjoy moments of solitude. I have the space to think, rest and to enjoy a t.v show or a hobby. I guess sooner of later we confront our fears, I sure hope I don't have to confront my fears that pertain to aquatic creature. Confronting solitude for shorts periods of time is sufficient and acceptable. Fears can indeed destroy us and make us think irrationally.
