Why we fear change?



  People fear what they didn't understand. Especially when it involves change.



Talk of Galileo who was imprisoned and charged  for heresy by the catholic church in Rome because he published his findings that the earth and other planets revolved around the sun and not the common belief of earth-centered universe.


Talk of the Civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King, who fought for equality against racism and segregation In America.
 

Talk of Gandhi who fought against the British rule, pressuring them to liberate his country India in a non-violent way.

                       

Talk of Jesus who was killed because he claims to be the son of God, spreading the message of salvation, performing miracles and wonders, and teaching people people how to live a holy life. And yet the same people are too blind to see because they didn't understand.


People fear change, they fear the outcome could be damaging, they fear the situation might be worse. They felt it's too risky. Nothing happens without change, change is constant. Nobody can change that.

My greatest fear

Johnny wake up! Something is moving in the room!! It’s dark in here, can you please turn the light on. I can't! The power went off! What’s that sound? Oh my God. According to Wikipedia Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger. It is also a strong emotion induced by anticipated danger. Fear is normal and it’s like a shield designed to protect us humans from perceived danger. It’s often directed towards a situation or objects that don’t necessarily pose a real danger. Phobia is often termed as an irrational fear towards a situation, living creature, object, etc. It’s being termed as' irrational' because people find it unreasonable. Take for example xanthophobia, the fear of yellow colour. People with xanthophobia fear anything yellow including the Sun. Others include coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, turophobia, the fear of Cheese and so on. Sometimes these fears are seen as anxiety disorders. Nevertheless that’s just an introduction. I know we all have our fe...

MY AFRICA

Africa is a beautiful continent, talk of the animals, trees, people and different cultures, it just makes it so special. One of the notable things in Africa is their culture. Different people in different countries share different way of life. During the olden days before colonialism what the people respect more is their ethics and traditions. And anyone that does not follow this traditions can be severely punished at a point. The game hunt and cultivation of farmland has been the way families can feed themselves. The females are fond of gathering firewood and cooking while The males are always eager to impress them through wrestling contest, game hunt,popularity ETC. They are always trying to show their capacity to provide. The children will always dance and sing songs in the moonlight, wishing the merriment will continue forvever. But what happen to my Africa now? It seems like the life we left behind is antiquated. We no longer regard the old customs, yes we longer regard some of...
