Ridiculous Perhaps



I met a man this summer who claimed fear is the only emotion that we have. Everything else is a subset off of fear. Being sad is simply the fear of not being happy, love is the fear of being alone and unwanted. I thought of it as a ridiculous notion at first, but yet again, it is a new idea to dwell on. Maybe he's right, fear is all we have. I suppose I could theorize it's the root behind basic human nature, but it's far to late for a school night to be contemplating such ideas. Good night.

    in the tibetan book of the dead we all live in pain. Once we reach a blank state we free our selves from restrictions.
