Fear of life is a huge problem for people.
Happiness in life can also be a large problem.
Why?
I am a very brave person, I am courageous, and courageous does not mean the lack or overcoming of fear. Courage is the control of fear, using fear for the best. Overcoming fear comes to you in many ways, a new experience, fun, you can get thousands of feelings from overcoming your fears.
Fear of life though, means the fear of losing your life. Fear of taking a step forward, and being pushed two steps back. Many people won't step outside of their comfort zones because they consider life to be too valuable to take a chance that may destroy it.
I grow up in a town, where there are underlying fears, and underlying happiness. Nobody will speak about it professionally. Nobody will speak about it in private. Most of the time, it is only the actual action that makes people consider even speaking about it.
What is with fear?
What is it that we enjoy?
Do you know why being happy with your life is wrong? If slitting your wrists makes you feel good than who's to say you are wrong? If playing head games and manipulating people makes you happy, than what is wrong? If stealing for a living creates happiness is it good? Is there really truth to they saying "whatever makes you happy"?
