فذاكَ الأب الرائع المنصرف إلى تفكيك الخيمة ومساعدة أطفاله على ارتداء الألبسة الصوفية، كان يودّ أن يضاجع سكرتيرته، ولكنه خائف من ردّ فعل زوجته. وتلك الزوجة التي تتمنى أن تعمل وتحقق استقلالها، كانت خائفة من زوج متسلط. وأولئك الأطفال، أمِن الممكن أن يكونوا على هذه الدرجة من اللطف والتهذيب لولا خوفهم من العقاب؟ وتلك الفتاة التي تقرأ كتاباً، وحيدةً تحت مظلة، خائفة في أعماقها من احتمال بقائها عانساً. وخائف أيضاً ذلك الشاب الذي يرغم نفسه على تدريب مكثَّف تلبية لرغبة والديه. والنادل الذي يقدم الكوكتيلات الاستوائية لزبائن أثرياء، مبتسماً رغم خوفه من أن يُصرف. والفتاة الخائفة من انتقادات الجيران، ما يجعلها تعدُل عن حلمها بأن تغدو راقصة، فتتابع دراسة الحقوق. والعجوز الذي يقول أنه يشعر بالصحة والنشاط منذ توقف عن التدخين والشراب، في حين أن فزعه من الموت يصفر مثل الريح في أذنيه. والزوجان اللذان يقفزان في رذاذ الأمواج، إنَّ ضحكهما يُخفي خوفهما من أن يصبحا عجوزين عليلين لا جدوى منهما. والرجل ذو الجلد البرونزي الذي يروح ويجيء بقاربه الآلي بمحاذاة الشاطيء، مبتسماً ملوّحاً بذراعه، إنه خائق من فكرة أن توظيفاته في البورصة يمكن أن تنهار في أي لحظة. وصاحب الفندق الذي يراقب من مكتبه هذا المشهد الفردوسي، ويسهر على راحة زبائنه وسعادتهم، إنه مؤرق بالخوف من أن يكتشف محضّلو الضرائب التزوير في حساباته. كل الموجودين على هذا الشاطيء الرائع، هم في نهاية هذا النهار، فريسة للخوف: خوف من العُزلة، من الظُلمة التي تملأ المخيلة بالشياطين، من يوم الحساب، من تعليقات الآخرين، من الحب والصدود، من طلب زيادة، من قبول دعوة، من الضرب في المجهول، من عدم النجاح في إتقان لغة أجنبية، من العجز عن التأثير في الآخرين، من الشيخوخة، من الموت، من أن تُرى العيوب ولا تُرى المزايا، ومن ألّا تُرى لا العيوب ولا المزايا ↗
Want to know who I am? Your responses indicate that you have a normal desire to share yourself with others. However, this need is not being adequately fulfilled at present. As a result, you unconsciously attempt to treat this emptiness with momentary interests and temporary passions. If left unaddressed, this imbalance leads to impulsive behavior and unnecessary risks. Past betrayals have left you generally suspicious of others’ behavior, particularly regarding romantic relationships. You fear you may be exploited if you open yourself too fully. Consequently, you often seek some proof of a new friend’s or lover’s sincerity before you decide to trust them. Further complicating your relationships is the anxiety you have about your unfulfilled personal and professional goals. You fear that you’ve made decisions that weren’t in your own best interest, or failed to take advantage of opportunities when they presented themselves. The desire to overcome these challenges sometimes lead you to seem pushy or even arrogant. Because this competitive urge is not always apparent to others, they are often surprised by it. However, the passion that underlies your desire for success is unique. This makes you unlike others. You cannot simply accept what life has to offer; you aspire for more. Between each inhale and exhale we die and are reborn. ↗

Amaranta, however, whose hardness of heart frightened her, whose concentrated bitterness made her bitter, suddenly became clear to her in the final analysis as the most tender woman who had ever existed, and she understood with pitying clarity that the unjust tortures to which she had submitted Pietro Crespi had not been dictated by a desire for vengeance, as everyone had thought, nor had the slow martyrdom with which she had frustrated the life of Colonel Gerineldo Márquez been determined by the gall of her bitterness, as everyone had thought, but that both actions had been a mortal struggle between a measureless love and an invincible cowardice, and that the irrational fear that Amaranta had always had of her own tormented heart had triumphed in the end. ↗
BOB DIAMOND: "Being from earth as you are and using as little of your brain as you do, your life has pretty much been devoted to dealing with fear. DAN MILLER: "It has?" BOB DIAMOND: "Everybody on earth deals with fear. That's what little brains do." BOB DIAMOND: "Did you ever have friends whose stomach hurt?" DAN MILLER: "Every one of them." BOB DIAMOND: "It's fear. Fear is like a giant fog. It sits on your brain and blocks everything. Real feeling, true happiness, real joy, they can't get through that fog. But you lift it and buddy you're in for the ride of your life." (From the movie 'Defending Your Life') ↗
Ensuite, la peur se tourne vers votre corps, qui sent déjà que quelque chose de terrible et de mauvais est entrain de survenir. Déjà, votre souffle s'est envolé comme un oiseau et votre cran a fui en rampant comme un serpent. Maintenant, vous avez la langue qui s'affale comme un opossum, tandis que votre mâchoire commence à galoper sur place. Vos oreilles n'entendent plus. Vos muscles se mettent à trembler comme si vous aviez la malaria et vos genoux à frémir comme si vous dansiez. Votre coeur pompe follement, tandis que votre sphincter se relâche. Il en va ainsi de tout le reste de votre corps. Chaque partie de vous, à sa manière, perd ses moyens. Il n'y a que vos yeux à bien fonctionner. Ils prêtent toujours pleine attention à la peur. Vous prenez rapidement des décisions irréfléchies. Vous abandonnez vos derniers alliés: l'espoir et la confiance. Voilà que vous vous êtes défait vous-même. La peur, qui n'est qu'une impression, a triomphé de vous. Cette expérience est difficile à exprimer. Car la peur, la véritable peur, celle qui vous ébranle jusqu'au plus profond de vous, celle que vous ressentez au moment où vous êtes face à votre destin final, se blottit insidieusement dans votre mémoire, comme une gangrène: elle cherche à tout pourrir, même les mots pour parler d'elle. Vous devez donc vous battre très fort pour l'appeler par son nom. Il faut que vous luttiez durement pour braquer la lumière des mots sur elle. Car si vous ne le faites pas, si la peur devient une noirceur indicible que vous évitez, que vous parvenez peut-être même à oublier, vous vous exposez à d'autres attaques de peur parce que vous n'aurez jamais vraiment bataillé contre l'ennemi qui vous a défait. ↗

Play it, Eddie, don't be foolish;' she urges. 'Now's the time, break the spell once and for all, prove to yourself that it can't hurt you. If you don't do it now, you'll never get over the idea. It'll stay with you all your life. Go ahead. I'll dance it just like I am.' 'Okay,' he says. He taps. It's been quite some time, but he can rely on his outfit. Slow and low like thunder far away, coming nearer. Boom-putta-putta-boom! Judy whirls out behind him, lets out the first preliminary screech, Eeyaeeya! She hears a commotion in back of her and stops as suddenly as she began. Eddie Bloch's fallen flat on his face and doesn't move again after that. They all know, somehow. There's an inertness, a finality about it that tells them. The dancers wait a minute, mill about, then melt away in a hush. Judy Jarvis doesn't scream, doesn't cry, just stands there staring, wondering. That last thought - did it come from inside his own mind just now - or outside? Was it two months on its way, from the other side of the grave, looking for him, looking for him, until it found him tonight when he played the Chant once more and laid his mind open to Africa? No policeman, no detective, no doctor, no scientist, will ever be able to tell her. Did it come from inside or from outside? All she says is: 'Stand close to me, boys - real close to me, I'm afraid of the dark.' ("Papa Benjamin" aka "Dark Melody Of Madness") ↗
Страхът е признак за отказ или прехвърляне на отговорност. Страхът не е усещането за самосъхранение. Страхът е и основа на всяка една религия (ако не спазваш "законите" й, не изговаряш молитвите й, те чака наказание). Основа на всяка секта (пълно несъзнателно (а понякога става съзнателно) разлагане на личността, правна държава (глоба, наказание), деспот (наказание), стериотипи (табу, модел на поведение, ценности, максима: "всички правят така"), мода (отхвърляне). Вместо "страх ме е", по-добре казвай "опасно е", "объркващо е", "трудно е". Страхът управлява стадото (масата) хора. Това им пречи да бъдат самостоятелни, защото страхът изкривява правилното (респективно: твоето)мислене и действие. Човек не може да се откъсне от света на привичките. Може да живее в този свят, без да се оставя да му промият ума. Въпрос на воля. ↗
Tessa craned her head back to look at Will. “You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is going to be a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing tight around the characters who live and breathe on the pages. But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage and you cannot let go or turn the course aside.” His blue eyes were dark with understanding — of course Will would understand — and she hurried on. “I feel now as if the same is happening, only not to characters on a page but to my own beloved friends and companions. I do not want to sit by while tragedy comes for us. I would turn it aside, only I struggle to discover how that might be done.” “You fear for Jem,” Will said. “Yes,” she said. “And I fear for you, too.” “No,” Will said, hoarsely. “Don’t waste that on me, Tess. ↗
