By definition that which we know is known, inadvertently that which we do not know is unknown to us. majority of that which we know we do not fear, however that which is unknown to us is almost always feared. If it is unknown, then why is it that us human beings fear what we don't know. It would seem that our own self ignorance is what frightens us the most. That is to say that ignorant being used interchangeably with that which we do not know. I suppose that there is a sort of safe feeling with the things that we already know, so we dnt care abt what is unknown, because that would be unsafe. Since it is unknown to us, then it good very well be a good thing for us, but we allow fear to intervene with our wanting to know what is unknown. the unknow good be a good thing or a bad thing, it is that uncertainty that allows us to continue to fear the unknown.
Moreover The mind wont allow the mouth to express what the heart really feels out out of the fear of that which is unknown. I have always been the type to express myself, but currently i have become hesitant to do so. WHY? because i fear what is unknown to me, i could either be rejected, or accepted, but i am to fearful of the unknown to dare to even find out. I have developed this strong affection and deep feeling of affinity for him, but my mind will not allow my words to express such a thing. in fear that the feeling isnt mutual. Though i cannot say for sure if it is love, the only thing i know is that i dont want to be without him. I dont even want to allow another to get close to me in such a way that he is close to me. i fear even the simplestof things and that is asking him to define us.
if only we could be liberated of these fears then and only then can we venture into the unknown and prosper in life and love.

the unknown...
ReplyDeletei rather not know, just let me remain ignorant instead of acknowledgin the sudden placement of fear that has manifested in me because of the uncertainty of love. fear?. would it cease to exist if the thought well the education, the understanding of such a word were never made to us? better to be thought of not to exist then to exist and never be thought of. philosophy go hard and n this case hoe.. u out did yaself!!! love it!!
I like that! good question. is it better to be thought of not to exist or to exist and not be thought of? but exactly what does Exist mean in this form? is to exist meaning to feel an emotion or to have knowledge thereof? I could be ignorant of the word fear, but would i then cease to fear? or would i fear, but only think of it in another form? its like Shakespeare said, "what is in a name? that which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet"
