Fear in our lives never end but the ones we carry from childhood are the harder ones to get rid of. What's my fear... well I am petrified of spiders " Arachnophobia " as they say... but I also had the most common fear of all... monsters under my bed. I don't know why but almost every kid has this imagination. Its funny nobody really talks about it. So many common childhood fears that carried on from generations and never got lost.
Maybe something's are best learnt the hard way.
I think the best visualisers are the kids. There imagination is so amazing. It can travel around the world and beyond. There imagination has the purity of the saints and mischief of the devils. I am sure they even see lots of colours in the most ordinary things we fail to notice.
But this is not about kids... its about the fear we carry since childhood. I don't know where they originate from but I think one of the reasons behind it is insecurity. Why? You don't think kids can get insecure?? Here is a reality check buddy... insecurity is one of the few sure shot weaknesses we grow up with. And more successful or richer we get our insecurities get bigger with it. Insecurity is like a rubber inside us, it grows bigger or smaller as we do in life.
And it's so weird that the most insecure people are the ones who are more popular, successful or rich. There can be many reasons behind it. I don't want to do psychoanalysis of that but then I wonder why so many people spend most of their lives trying to reach that level of insecurity.
Be it politicians, businessmen or film stars, with all the luxuries they enjoy, they suffer from a huge pain in the neck, by which I don't mean gold diggers around them. But the pain is from always looking behind his or her shoulders because they are always scared or insecure that someone will snatch that chair away.
As we grow bigger we may get ourselves the best quality bed money can buy. But I think the monsters under the bed grow bigger with it. The shape and size of the monsters keep changing through our life but they always remain under our bed...
