Have you heard this before? Sure you have, maybe as a child or in school. But, do you really believe it to be true when you are confronted with something frightning to you …
Humans are the only beings that believe in fear because humans think with their mind and have been since they were babies. Fear by example, fear by conditioning, fear by real life example, fear by influence, is a learned behavior.
We are controlled by a thing called ‘fight or flight’ mode in our brains and in that split second decision, 9/10 times your heart goes for flight to flee from danger.
Animals on the other hand, move towards things they fear out of curiosity or that appear to come too close to their environment because they don’t have the fear that humans do and their fear turns to protection of themselves or their family.
When humans are feeling threatened, we tend to turn and run from the fear or the threatening issue if we can so as to not get trapped. This is a simple reason why bears, alligators, Hawks, and hundreds of other animals, will junge at you because at that moment they feel threatened.
Humans pleasure side is more often response from their hearts, which is what get us all in trouble when we are trying to lose weight, get too friendly, try too hard to please others, etc.
So the next time something scares you, stop and think for a moment where that fear is coming from, your mind or your heart. Then maybe you you will understand why you react the way you do.
Fear only exists, in you mind … linda frame
