Weekend-Engagement writing topics: WEEK 157/ AFRAID

Hi, friends, how is your week end? As it’s usually we have several interesting topics to write about. I chose the topic AFRAID.

These days humanity have many reasons to be afraid. Me too, of course. In spite of I try to being an optimistic person, being afraid it’s a natural human condition. Specially if you are living in times of crisis. Every day we have small problems to resolve, we have to take decisions, we have to think about present and future situations. I'll write about some topics I'm afraid.

Since 2019 all human being have been afraid about COVID 19 Pandemic. Suddenly, our health became an important topic, an every day topic to be afraid of. Millions of persons were infected. Millions of persons were two weeks or more sicks and afterwards, feeling bad for months. Many people died. It was a really hard situation, so much time. Still, I’m afraid about it, despite the fact that I was vaccinated. I was not infected. But when you think your life could be in a risk, you really be afraid of.

When you are young, you are not afraid so much about future, about Time, you are living present time, you are enjoying present time. But when you are not young Time become an important topic, you know. You realize that you cannot lose time, you cannot lose opportunities, you cannot lose anything, because experience teached you that sometimes when you lose something important, when you lose a good opportunity, when you lose a person, a special person, often, you can’t get it back. When you are not young you know that the time you will have forward is less you have behind you. Twenty years ago I was not afraid about Time, now I am.

In the other hand, when you are not young, you are afraid about your health, you are afraid about taking care of your body. Because when Time past your body and mind can deteriorates if you don’t take care of yourself. Since more than ten years ago I don’t smoke cigarretes, I drink alcoholic beverages with moderation, I try to dream eight hours, I practice meditation. Because I’m afraid about having good health.

Being afraid about something is normal, all intelligent human being can be afraid sometimes about a topic. But it’s a problem when you are obsessed about a topic. If you are thinking all the time about it, you feel Angst, or you feel angry, that is not fine. When you are afraid you have to look for a solution, when you’re obsessed maybe you have to look for professional help.
