Are We All Truly Cowards by Eddygourdo(op): 8:22am On Aug 28, 2015
Those who read my tolotolo debacle will remember how traumatic it was for me, I ask myself everyday why couldn't I but not run away, in fact why is running away the best option to humans when faced by fear, if you gather a battalion of soldiers and disarm them, tell them to pass the night in a room then cover urself with a large white bedsheets after applying lots of powder to ur face and red paint to ur lips, jump into their midst screaming and u will see commotion, people scammering away calling their mothers and their gods to save them, at that moment u can't even differentiate the brave from the coward, this reaction can also be observed by a loud bang or explosive sound in a market, nobody waits to even find out, some don't bother looking back but run away as fast as they can to safety, I think cowardice is a primordial instinct of survival present in all living things especially in humans, I believe we all cowards and naturally fearful, though it's by overcoming fearful moments that heroes are identified, so no shame in being afraid or trying to overcome your fear, I am about leaving my house and if I run into that chicken puffing up as usual I will stand like a man but if I fail and run, I won't feel ashamed anymore cos it's primordial. good Friday peeps

Inspirational. Well, fear is an embedded trait that exist in every living creature. Anyone who claims to have never felt that emotion is nothing but a robot.

Yea bro. The greatest liar of all time. Fear is natural but allowing it to control important areas of your life is far from normal. Was once a victim but thank God. I have overcome.

thank God for ur life, as a child many things scared me that darkness spelt doom, to enter a room alone na war, affected me so badly I bedwetted for a long time, the major worry with fear is it's aftereffect on the individual, I can cause depression and anxiety
