Like the great book '1984', we will look back on history and change the events to fit our current outlook. Did you struggle to survive in the past because you were too lazy to get a job and are now somehow a huge success? Re-write that period as your time spent finding your true passion in life and continuing to look for opportunities - never committing to one thing because you knew success was right around the corner.

True vs False emotions. Hmm, how does one choose to perceive themselves, their being and how one fits in whatever box one chooses to paint for him/herself?

Life is filled with story telling. 10 people can experience the same unfolding of events, yet each may have a very different and unique take on the experience. Is one more real or more right than the other? As I see it, it is what it is for each person involved.

We often fear that which we don’t understand." It is so true and it happens everyday in our life. We always fear that which we don't understand. At least i do :) wow that is so TRUE…., I read the part :

Hmmm, is it possible in your view, for someone, to see the question of viewing the fear-response as an observation of something that we understand to be fear? We can then wonder whether or not our observation is accurate or not, to find out whether or not what we really feel is fear. That may make it easier to figure out what the response can be categorized under. What do you think? Or am I going in a completely opposite direction to what you intended this topic to go to?
