Fear of finding out.
We don’t know what we don’t know.
And…
We fear what we don’t know.
To gain knowledge, so that one can learn, evolve, be more, requires one pesky factor.
FAITH.
Faith requires courage, child-like recklessness without adult ego and vanity. Post modern standards claim that it’s delusional and irresponsible way to live- we must “follow the science”… Omitting little known fact, that much of sciences greatest discoveries were in significant part driven by faith that there is something, somewhere- that which we don’t know yet, don’t understand. Weird…
It isn’t that much different in the universe of people interested in functioning better in violent environments.
Status Quo of mediocrity, of established (by anointed by some mysterious authority Pharisees of tactical competence) “science” of the craft is as robust and just as capable to convince masses to worship its dogma as the “science” of piece of paper covering half of scared face preventing terrible virus from dropping you dead…
Establishment, any establishment always protects its established turf of influence, profit, control. Don’t allow your mind to become an establishment of conformity, blindly falling in line with that which establishment says is established fact(s).
Have courage to recognize this- while there is nothing new under the sun, you may only be aware of small part of what is there- under the sun.
Going “there” only when “someday” of you being ready (whatever that means- maybe it’s when you finally pick up your sack and take first step of courage towards Faith, which just may lead you to more, better, deeper) arrives, is nothing but thinly veiled cowardice. It’s fear of finding out. Drop it.
“Someday I will take xyz class”. No. You won’t. Not until in solitude of your own mind you’ll punch that pusillanimous creature in the throat, mercilessly murder the coward and emerge as new person with courage to have Faith that perfected mediocrity is akin to adultery to your self- your potential.
Don’t be a PUSI-llanimous excuse of a human you were created to be.
Fear or Faith.
Pick ONE.
