How long you can stay safe by taking every step out of Fear ?

I have been invited by @gungunkrishu to participate in this weekly challenge organized by the @bdcommunity - BDCommunity Presents: [A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words] [Contest Week 2]. I think, I may not qualify for the contest, because of time restrictions, but I still want to express my feelings through this post, as this is a very compelling topic. It's very true that pictures speaks a lot more than words and that is why we see viral pictures / videos every day. So let's get on the topic.

Can Fear save us ? Or we have to win over it to save us ?

Every day I notice these kids playing around on the streets on my way. They don't fear anything and in fact, when I took these photographs, their parent was telling them, that I am a Police man and I am taking their photo to take them to Police station. So they ran away, but believe, next 5 minutes they were there again 😁 They don't fear anything - neither Corona or vehicles going on the road, they are cautious not to go to the road. And they don't bother their parents only apart from they being hungry.

So out of curiosity, I spoke to their parents, how they are not worried about the kids getting Corona. And their response was like - it's very difficult to contain these kids so they have let them play and they think, the kids will not get Corona, because they even don't get normal cold and cough. You can see, some of them even roaming in bare body 😀.

I came home and started thinking about their confidence. Our kids are definitely more prone to infections, because we have just contained them inside a house in all these months. This was very inspiring for me ( just before Diwali) - I decided to let the kids go and play outside. Because of restrictions in the society, they still need to wear a mask - but precaution is definitely something else - they first need to get rid of their fear.

Since then, the kids are free to go out and play with other kids. I hope this helps them to get more immune. I even suggested them to do some running and breathing exercise and be strong to fight - Today it's Corona - they will face many such problems in their life.

This year the Diwali was banned by government but we had some left over sparklers. And kids earlier were telling, we will not go outside. But after this, they started convincing me to go and enjoy with those left over sparklers and celebrate the Diwali. And I let them go as well. I shared a post on that earlier. I enjoyed myself as well. After all it was the first family outing outside of the house.

Time has come to leave fear in the back and move ahead. We are expecting a second wave of Corona coming in. But is that the last problem in this world ? Definitely No. We will have to fight and win over all the odds.

Coincidentally , I saw this Chameleon next morning while doing my exercise and it was totally fearless when I captured in my Camera so close.

I invite @cryptographic and @nathanmars so share their feelings on this topic - not necessarily for the contest.
