Fear Is Free

"Sometimes we have freedom within our hands, and nobody wants to ...", Mariano Cabrero.

Passing the border of our freedom will always come to a disruption of our state of mind: the fear that has come, and virtually everyone we've had at some time in our mortal life. And it is clear that, at the present time, the streets around the world have become, and now the Spanish, in scenarios where any of us can be docked, raped, harassed, insulted ... and in many cases, we must fight for our own survival, drawing strength from our inner adrenaline shoots lightning speed ... and that fear is free.

In modern democracies it is customary to give a sense of freedom misunderstood, the governments that rule them turn a deaf ear to the demands of the citizens-voters-everlasting, every day of the year are clamoring for more police presence , whose primary function is, and always has been, in preventing crimes against people and bringing to justice of alleged criminals who commit them ... before put into practice.

And is that modern societies are becoming conformists, and that makes them-in-a certain dose is necessary to notice some of discontent and opposition, not just the laws, we all must respect-but the way to legislate in democratic parliaments. Yes we are free ... to say and think what we see fit, but if we do not agree with the thoughts of the majority, we run the risk of being marginalized by society itself in which we live: this is a tremendous contradiction that, inevitably, generates fear in us within our hearts. And that fear is free ...

Passing the border of our freedom will always come to a disruption of our state of mind: the fear that has come, and virtually everyone we've had at some time in our mortal life. And it is clear that, at the present time, the streets around the world have become, and now the Spanish, in scenarios where any of us can be docked, raped, harassed, insulted ... and in many cases, we must fight for our own survival, drawing strength from our inner adrenaline shoots lightning speed ... and that fear is free.

We are full of fears: fear of dying, fear of pain, fear of disease, fear of AIDS, fear of losing his head, fear of love ...: are many and varied fears that swarm in the XXI century. And is that all people have felt "fear" sometime in their life. And since those are different as their cultures, it is exchangeable at the global level. We speak Spanish fear, fear American, Russian fear ... and now I refer to the 'different cultures', that define a country over another ... So it is convenient to come to the attention of each person has their fear, which is personal and not transferable.

While adults teach children to be afraid, there will always be 'seeds of violence' nested in their poor hearts. We must accustom ourselves to be more in touch with our little ones, the hope of tomorrow, 'Take him by the hand and to crawl around the dinner table, and help them become useful and instructive to others when they reach their majority of age. Banish frightening words: What is the coconut!, Look at those ghosts!, Guard what comes ...! All we need wish, and, of course, older children. The presence of the little ones in our lives is, and becomes a unique experience not easily forgotten.

hard to forget. And is that all humans are born, in principle, with seeds of goodness, rationality and generosity. But at the same time, develop within our hearts the seeds of hatred, xenophobia, cruelty, violence ... (Animals killed by starvation, but the men / women kill for pleasure ... Sad and pure pleasure!). When we commit cruelty to children, the toys became broken by vida.Ashley Montagu wrote: "Learning to speak cost us many months. Learn to love can take years. No human being is born with hostile or violent impulses, and no one becomes hostile or violent without taking the time to learn it. "



It is undoubtedly true that we have some fear global warming, international terrorism and national levels, to undertake a trip abroad where we can be hijacked to achieve a delicious ransom, you fall on any 'bad pump' lost in space ... So many fears with which we live! And that fear is free.

Match those skilled in the art, and understand that they are not wrong when they say that to form the character of a person, no doubt, we need some basic needs. Namely: affection, warmth, food ... That is, all the necessary stimulus, and yet complementary to discern between good and evil. By contrast, contrary to the requirements under previous: psychic or psychological neglect, lack of affection, lack of understanding ... children / as tend to develop a dubious and fearful: lose the love of life, and become "broken toys" for life, which many people (wrongly named in this way) and tend to violence to get rid of them. I'm talking about facts, not fiction. That is why are kids in the family / as loners.

Our society has become permissive and indulgent, so much so, that all seems well, and we stopped thinking, not to complicate life. Nice picture!

We walked down a path that seems wrong, in many cases, tolerant, and consequently we are immersed in an accumulation of defects (imperfections moral) defects of family status, occupation, age, and so on. If all of these defects in an individual match and not be prevented with care and efficiency, we are helping to form an intolerable monster, a sort of "Superman" in terms of ideas, which leads us from one place to another without limitations on the time into space.

Václav Havel, playwright [former President of Czechoslovakia (1993-2003)], once said several Spanish newspaper: "Tolerance begins to be a weakness when he begins to tolerate intolerable things, when it begins to tolerate evil ]. Asked if he knew the border between the two, said: "Unfortunately there is no mathematical or computer can set the border. This depends on the ethical and moral sense. "
