Fear Topic 3

My philosophy of fear is that fear is something no one can have power over. My definition of fear is that it is dangerous to a single individual. However you must always face your fears. An example is the fear of flying, the reason is that the plan might crash because the individual isn't flying the plane him/herself. Another example is the fear of death, the reason is that not many people can control their own death.

There are many examples of fear in this book Tuesdays with Morrie. One example is that Mitch was sledding down a hill, then a car came over the hill and Mitch jumped and tumbled down the hill. He was screaming, "AHHHHHH" in tangled with fear before he was safe from death. Another example of fear which is actually Morrie looking at a fear and turning it into a positive thing. He said he would like to be reincarnation into a gazelle so that he can run freely. He is afraid of death and faced his fear head on with the result of dieing.

I 100% agree that this story is close to my philosophy. I believe this because the charcters are faced with a fear and they face their fear in one way or another. I believe that fear is important or life is not worth living for. There would not anything to chalange ones self. This book actually makes me to rethink facing my fears.

What are your fears? How would you face them?
