Fear is a
negative feeling; and hence a negative term. Fear is when, trust is missing. Along
with trust; truth and the ability to remain true to purpose, is also lost. When
one is not true to purpose; exhibits hypocrisy and deceit in thoughts, words
and actions.
It is always
safe for us to remain away from people who do not trust us. The substratum of
any kind of relationship, even acquaintanceship between people; is built upon
trust. Trust is an elementary component of life.
Trying to
remain in contact with people who do not trust us is folly, absurd and sheer
stupidity. People who do not trust us would only end up backstabbing though
unintentionally because they do not trust us and are afraid of us. Hence an exposed
and candid reaction can never be expected from them.
Claiming and
encouraging the fear factor in people around us is not a merit rather a major
setback in maintaining cordial relationship with anyone. People may be related
to us by blood or traditional events; still as long as they are afraid of us;
they just can’t be true to us. Not a point to blame; sheer inability!
Being
surrounded by people, even relatives; who do not trust us would bestow a life of
futility filled with deceit and pretence. When we begin searching truth around
us; even a mere superficial search would result in withering away of attachment
to relationships in life!
The cradle step
in spirituality.
