NO FEAR

[intrkt]

When is it time to move on? This is a general question that can be applied to many a things. A relationship, a job, a hobby, a sport, a friendship, a tv show, a book ....etc. At initial thought, you would think that it depends on the person, some people get bored and move on, some people get scared and move on, some people reach a certain goal

For example, you do things for loved ones not for love itself, but of FEAR, of dissapointing them, of hurting them, of them not being happy.
You do something nice for a friend, what do you fear. You do it because you want them to be happy, therefore you FEAR them not being happy.

Isn't that looking at the glass half empty???

Perhaps, but if you look at the glass as half full, I believe it's FEAR keeping you from admitting that it's also half empty. It's probably not the healthiest way of looking at life, but as they say, admitting my problem is half the battle.

great analogy as an example.

i think it's possible to see the glass as half empty AND half full. i think i usually look at things weighing both the positive and negative effects. it doesn't have to be black and white. in life there are always shades of grey.

i don't know if it is fear that drives me. i never thought of it in that way. i always thought it was happiness that drove me. what would make me happier? what would make my friends/family happier... not because of fear of them or myself not being happy.

i don't think it's wrong of you to think this way. people rely on different emotions for determination.. yours just happens to be fear. as for me, i use happiness with probably a little fear.
