Are we afraid of the wrong things?

Well, I looked at this topic with a microscopic view and I tend to agree with that we are afraid of the wrong things. Wrong things obviously have wrong or should I say negative consequences. So we refrain from doing wrong things and to those who do them for a simply reason; we don’t want to be correlated with them.

As human beings I think it’s a good thing that we have fears, hence we are living in a society where there are so many diseases, and crime is escalating among other wrong things. Fears alienate us from doing the wrong things. We must not allow fear to take control of our dealings though, as it can make us to be afraid of the right things as well. Being afraid keeps us alert to whatever we are doing.

Certainly you will back me up on this: as much as we are afraid of wrong things, we are more than afraid of the results or effects that wrong things can bring to us. Think of stealing for example, should you get caught…what will happen to you? Punished, definitely. And punishment can differ depending on a case. Again I can say that we are afraid of the unknown….unknown in this manner means that you don’t know what would happen should you be found doing something wrong. So yes we are really afraid for the wrong things.

  1. I think it is a good thing to fear wrong things as this will keep us away from getting hurt and to do things we will regret in future. Yes, we are afraid of the wrong things.
