Are You Afraid?
No, really, are you afraid? If so, why? What exactly is it you are afraid of? We all have fears of some things, certainly. But have you ever noticed that someone may be genuinely frightened about things you wouldn't even think of fearing, while you may express great fear about something another shrugs off.
The fact is, we are all afraid of some things, and in a very real sense, all of our diverse fears are surface manifestations of those core universal fears. Funny how it's always pointed out that more people fear speaking in front of a large audience than they fear death. But there is great truth in this phenomena: It's not that we fear death, we actually fear something else.
We fear loneliness. Really, that's it, that's the core fear. We don't want to be separated from those things that truly give our lives meaning: being with another and liking them and them liking us. The most simple and definitive reason some commit suicide is that they fear the abject pain of loneliness, despair, and boredom that they are now enduring more than the imminent death they are about to impose upon themselves.
But how is it possible for us to have that vibrant interaction we so desire, when there is death and the end of hope for that interaction? There is a way, a very real route to relationship and away from death, but sadly too many don't seriously consider taking it because clever people throughout history have disguised it and driven people into their ultimately worthless world. The Catholicist Nation is about exposing those designs and perhaps even helping to convey some idea of Who that Way is.
To find Him, first look here.
Then for a bit more on the Catholicist Nation and its vast deception, look here.
What is fear? Is there another option to cope with it than Jesus?
