 Anticipating The Future Without Fear Many of us spend a lot of our time acting out of fear of the past or the present, and in doing that, we affect each other and the larger society. We create a culture of fear. When fear comes up and we’re upset and worried, the first thing we need to do is acknowledge that fear. We can recognize and embrace it rather than act it out. Our original fear isn’t just from our own birth and childhood; the fear we feel comes from both our own and our ancestors’ original fear. Our ancestors suffered from hunger and other dangers, and there were moments when they were extremely anxious. That kind of fear has been transmitted to us; every one of us has that fear inside. And because we suffer from that fear, we make the situation worse. We worry about our safety, our job, and our family. We worry about external threats. Even when nothing bad is happening, that doesn’t prevent us from feeling fear. However, we can prepare for the future without gettin...

This article offers advice for both parents, other family members, and children about how to deal with, reduce and even eradicate this depression. I remember from my own childhood having many periods when I was very unhappy and sad. I was the type of person who would let aspects of my life get on top of me which would at times affect my sleep patterns. I found growing up through childhood, into a teenager, and ultimately into my adulthood as one big choir and struggle. I was forever comparing my own life to that of my brother, sister, and friends. Their lives seemed so much easier than mine was and this made me feel quite jealous of them. Looking back one of my faults was that I was not willing to discuss my worries and fears with my parents and basically kept them bottled up inside of me. This meant of course that I had to ...
