Why fear?

I thinking the other day what would the world be if fear was eliminated from it completely? Would we be better people who cared about others, and understood others? Or would be we reckless beings who cared none about others, and hurt them for the sake of fun or pleasure.

One thing is for sure. If we fear something, we never do it again. If by doing something unacceptable, someone gets punished, it is very rare that the person would do it again. And even if he does it, it would be near impossible that it would be done again.

The other thing is that if an individual stops fearing, he would be able to see beyond his fear. What I really mean is that the individual would be able to enjoy and learn from his surroundings, rather than just worrying about them 24X7.

But, what could the elimination of fear mean to a child? Would it make him more passionate about his environment , or would it make him a stupid being who fears doing nothing, and wastes the greater part of his time in pleasure activities?

I argue that if a child is made fearless, then, he would love to explore his capabilities, since exploring your new limits and capabilities make you feel happy. It's like discovering parts of you, and it opens up the wide variety of the possibilities for the future.

If not fearing has all these benefits, then why is it that we spent a huge part of our life fearing, worrying about an uncertain future, worrying about what others think of us, and simply worrying about our actions and heritage.

To me, life is all about experiencing. It's not about having positive or negative experiences, or about having good or bad experiences, but it is just about having experience. I believe that an individual actually grows when he experiences and deduce things from his experience.

In the end, I would say that fear is that virus, worm, and trojan horse, and everything else that corrupts you, hinders your working, and lessens your capacity to do things.

Wish you a happy fearless life

Why this illogical world?

I was sitting by the sunset and wonder why was I born in this illogical world. A world where the great geniuses like Einstein and Newton have made their invaluable contribution, but they were ill treated during their life time, and they are ill treated, even now. Great philosophers and poets without whose contributions the modern culture was impossible to have ever developed, were both punished and made to lead an unhappy life. Was it because of their urge to find out things, their curiosity, or their inability to settle for anything other than the truth.

Last night, I was reading the national newspaper, and I could swear by it that about 80% of the news was about low intelligence men and women with mediocre brains. These people rule the media. No surprise that our society is doomed to be ruled by these people, and eventually end in a dumphole.

What has happened to those geniuses? Have they been devoured by the sand of time, or swallowed by the pressure of the modern era? Have they separated themselves from their unquenchable curiosity? Is there no real human left whatsoever on Earth? 

One big misconception among people is that real geniuses score great marks in tests. Not at all true. All that I can say is that the education system of all the countries around the world is garbage bin, and the only thing that could come out of them is smell, and useless stuff. 

Education needs to be challenging, not about avoiding challenges. It should be about looking for the most that is possible out of a situation, and not what is highly probable. 

The world is misdirected, and so are every man and woman. The only thing that could be done to lead them in the correct direction is by emphasizing on intelligence rather than popularity, emphasizing on smartness rather than the ability to make people laugh or do something reckless. The world needs to change, do does all of us!
