Fear factor


I was wondering that does fear always trickle in when something extremely good happens to us.

Popular film stars, cricketers on a roll and leading businessmen are often asked whether they are afraid of all the success and glamor being snatched away from them. What if one day they wake up to find that everything that they have achieved is suddenly gone?

Those in love too tend to have similar worries both knowingly and unknowingly. You are so happy that you begin to question whether you should be so happy. Aishwarya Rai sings

Lekin chahat mein sajna-sajni ko
Lagti hai ek duje ki nazar...

in the Nimbooda song from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. What she means is that the evil eye cast upon lovers is really their own because they have eyes only for each other. This is different from the usual apprehension that if you let in the world on your secret then someone's shadow might fall on your blissful life. Not surprisingly we like to be guarded in what we reveal.

I guess the only way to let go of such fears is to have confidence in yourself and those who love you that together you will be able to withstand all the stormy weather. At the same time you must savor the beautiful spring that has bloomed in your life and keep faith that it will be an everlasting one.

PS: What are your fears in love or otherwise?

Very well written. Faith can move mountains. Faith removes fears and establishes eternity.
