I guess what we really fear about is in some way our reaction to an event, rather than the event itself.
I don’t know if you are like me on this point but I am afraid of being afraid, of losing control and doing things that I will regret. Practicly every fears and demons I have to face are related to the fact that they could make me lose controle of myself.
For example, when I speak to someone I don’t trust, someone that seems to manipulate me, I am afraid to let him enter in my mind. Because it would mean he can take part on what I think right and wrong, and make me do things that don’t fit whit my values.
In some way, I think we are more afraid of losing control by facing to fearing events than by the events themselves.
What do you think ?
