I'm feeling... random. Is that right? or do I actually know how I feel, but fear to face it's reality.
Fears, there are so many that some can actually be classified as irrational. But I guess if it's nothing too serious it won't be something that requires therapy, like fear of sleeping alone, fear of snakes. Is it right to pass on our irrational fears to our children then? I guess the very obvious answer would be a loud resounding no, but can we help it? I guess the problem with fear is that it does not only affect us, but the people we care about as well. Then how do we deal with it? To overcome our fear so that it no longer frightens us? Then, there are some fears worth having aren't there?
A picture speaks a thousand words. I guess we can't argue that either, the power of interpretation. It's so powerful I fear that some of us underestimate just how effective it can be. Remember the days in primary school where there was a segment in the oral exam where we had to tell a story when a picture was given to us. Our power of interpretation. We all fought to read as much as we could into each picture, each action. Actions speak louder than words. I guess saying I love you, and showing I love you will be very different too.
