Fear vs Faith
Fear Vs Faith
Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived Faith and Fear; peacefully ruling their Kingdom together in harmony. Now Fear was dreadfully powerful, he could petrify people for hours on end; enjoying every minute of it, unfortunately. But Faith, Faith encourages and exhilarates their spirits giving them something to cling to, a glimmer of hope.
Now, as you can see, Fear was never desired as much as Faith was in the Kingdom of Peace. Alas, evil grew inside of Fear. Jealousy poisoned his precious heart. He became resentful towards Faith. One thing led to another and before one could count the ears on a rabbit’s head, Fear waged war against Faith. Blinded by fury, Fear had underestimated the powers of Faith. With the help of the good willed people, Faith triumphed and Fear took a regrettably devastating defeat. He was banished from the Kingdom for all times.
As Fear trod the dwellings of the mortals, he realized that he could manipulate and enslave all the mortals who did not know of Faith, creating a revolution for himself; a revolution of fear and failure!

People can be afraid of almost anything—afraid of storms, afraid of being alone, afraid of NOT being alone, afraid of closed spaces, afraid of open spaces, afraid of making a mistake and even afraid of success.
Fear is dangerously contagious. If you scream fire and run the other way, people will start to follow you, hesitantly; but after a while what do you know? You have a full raged stampede. A similar situation occurred in a cinema. And out of the 500 people who died at that time, most of them lost their lives as a result of the mad dash the people made to the exit.
Every time fear smacks you in the face, your body automatically releases chemicals that boost your system to the fight or flight mode. In the case of life threatening situations, this sure comes in handy. But jumping five feet off the ground just because a tiny little bug crossed your path… Now I’m not here to enlighten
