Fear....

As we grow, as our years increase, our fears grow. When we were children, the fear of unknown was not so much pronounced. We feared the dark nooks or the imaginary 'ghosts' n 'spooks'. But as we grew, we began to fear different things... till we began to fear ourselves. The fear of our ability to love and trust others. What if I trust you and you break my trust and then I am hurt. The fear we nurture deep within us, is not about any external factors, it is about ourselves. To mask this fear, we do many things. We hurt the other before the other can hurt us, or harm us. We forget our true loving and trusting self. The fear lies within. It cripples, it binds, it maims. We live our lives immersed in that fear. It takes courage to face the monster within. And it takes more to slay that monster. There are no enemies outside, it resides within. What is sin? I believe sin is not trusting your own ability to live life fully and wholly. Banish that fear. Come with-out from with-in. Life is beautiful. Trust.. Love... Live.
