I like writing more than just stories. Just something different from the normal chapter composition. Tell me if you like it.

I’ve heard it said that “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.”

That “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.”

That “We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, handsome, talented and graceful?”

....but, in truth, I am afraid of everything: Both light and darkness.

My good and my evil.

I cringe in fear when I see where I could rise and where I can fall.

Both my potential and my shortcomings scare me.

I’ve seen great men and women fall into the depths of darkness and still somehow be scared of the light.

I’ve seen others rise to the heights of success and good times and point there fingers at those in the black, saying “Look at them! How glad I am that I’m not THAT person!” but eventually, even with all of the success and wealth that the world has to offer, they became bitter and start to fall down to what they once despised.

I’ve seen people filled with potential, squander it on all of the pleasures that this world has to offer, eventually becoming dampened by the mediocrity that society pushed upon them.

And I’ve seen apathy: Neither warm or cold.

Neither good nor bad, just... there.

These last people are my greatest fear, the ones filled with indifference.
They were once like everyone.

They were struggling with the world, going from light to dark until, finally, they just gave up.

They are afraid just like the rest of us, afraid of everything so eventually, they just stopped fighting it and gave way to mediocrity, staleness and the lukewarm.

No matter what I believe, I want to continue fighting for it.

I never want to simply give up the war.

This is what, deep in our hearts, all of us are afraid of.

How is it that us humans: The conquerors of our world, the top of the food chain, innovators and creators all...

Can be afraid of everything?
