“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.â€
― Gautama Buddha
Oh really? Is that a secret. Or words that are supposed to be wise and driven into us all. ‘Don’t be scared and everything will turn out fine’. You can’t fight human nature. We all fear something at one point, maybe there are things we’ll always fear (I know there are for me). Will I be freed once I reject all help? I don’t think so. Everybody needs help at one point to get back on their feet, whether realized or not. Though, I don’t think we should Depend on anybody. That, I can agree with. Actually, we’re supposed to depend on Ourselves. Why reject help? (Hypocritical because I’m beginning to do just that).
By the way, I fear what will become of me. I even fear a little bit of what Has become of me. It is like an instinct. Instinct is nature, we can try to fight it, but won’t win. Sometimes we can sneak past it, but that’s all.

How can we not fear what will become of us? There is such a thing as healthy and normal fear.
