Blogpost 3: Fear and Love

      Do you know, we are only capable of two emotion? When I read this, first thing that enter in my mind is " what about the other emotion, where they fall under?" Love and fear are the only emotions we as human entities are able to express. All the others are just sub-categorical emotions. For example, on love's side there is joy, peacefulness, happiness, forgiveness, and a host of others. On the other hand, fear reflects: hate, depression, guilt, inadequacy, discontentment, prejudice, anger, attack, and so on.

          

          I read an article entitled "Fear Consumes, Joy Builds Capacity" by Heidi. According to the article, Most commonly practiced (even promoted) parenting techniques use fear to make kids do what their parents want or need. And school only tends to heighten fear, particularly when it’s already pervasive at home. You put that child into a school situation where there are all sorts of expectations and they have little or no say in what or how they learn, and it only augments the fears.
               

       I agree with Heidi that parents should not use the bad parenting techniques. There's no denying that bad parenting practices, such as neglect, abuse, and exposing children to violence can affect a child's behavior and development. Parenting is a way that parents show their children love for them but many parents now a time can't understand that they are using a bad way to show love or help their children. They are just making them scared than the result will be this; children will scare to talk with their parents when something wrong or good happen to them. My message to parents .To help yourself get rid of bad parenting habits, you should learn to relax and be more tolerant towards your child. You must understand that children can be really a handful and it would not do you any good if you take everything so seriously.

                    I read an article entitled “Love and Fear” by Joseph. According to this article Love is the cure for fear.Fear and Love cannot coexist in the same thought.  Living with love will open you up to a world full of exciting experiences. On the other hand, fear keeps you trapped from being and fully understanding the love that you are. Love or fear is the motivating force behind everything we think and do.

         I would like to say that Love is light while  Fear is darkness. When you turn on a light, darkness is no more. There is not a trace of it left! There is not even a hint of darkness ever having been there! God is love. Love is light. We are all children of God, therefore, in truth, we are only love. When we act out of fear, we are turning out the light, denying our truth, and entering into the darkness. We leave our love behind and attempt to be something we are not. We attempt to be apart from our Source; apart from God.

               Love and fear cannot coexist. Where one is, the other can't be also. The one will leave immediately, should the other enter its presence. If you find yourself in a situation where you are experiencing great joy, and are suddenly overtaken by fear, the joy is gone! But it works the other way too: If you are terrorized, frightened, or otherwise threatened in any way, all you need to do is turn to the love within, and the fear disappears.

" I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything by using fear as the basic motivation. fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with the class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fears as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker." - Stanley Kubrick
