Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

Each of us has our fears

Each of us has our fears. No one is excluded. Our own wounds.
The problem is that without even realizing it, many base their entire personality, entire way of life, entire world on these fears and wounds, without ever having faced them, analyzed them, processed them. And offered them.
We pass our whole lives running away from ourselves or repressing ourselves.
In a society such as this; where the stimuli are never ending; where we exist for what we produce; where we are valued for what we do rather than what we are; where everything is trivialized, consumed and common; it’s difficult to think about ourselves just for the fact that we exist.
I lived half of my life not knowing that I was going through it as a fearful child.
I wasn’t capable of protecting myself and so there were times when I attacked, always out of fear.
I lived the world fearing it.
I was always looking for the appreciation and kindness of others. Probably because I feared their antagonism.
I developed many other fears: fear of sickness, fear of economic and social failure, fear of poverty, fear of death.
I rapidly tried to acquire money, success and all the other things the West considers symbols of power, only to then live under the continuous worry of losing them.The world has become a hard place, a dangerous one, full of traps and pain; and yet I have remained attached to it.
Yet again, out of fear.
