People used to live in constant fear. They are aware that their lives may be taken at any time. They know that their lives are in constant danger. And thus they live in fear of that. They learnt how to cherish every moment of life. How to value every friend. How to take care of every possession. How to groom every pet. How everything around them would never last forever and that they would soon be taken away from them.
Right now in this day and age, poeple live their lives so carefree. What they fear is not dying, but instead its the lack of money, lack of rescources, poor grades, looking uncool, being lousy at sports, that others are going to usurp their position. They learn to backstab, make fun of others, spread rumours, gossip, lie, steal, cheat, kill for their benefits. To them, money is everything. Without money, they would not be able to enjoy luxuries nor keep up with the trend and eventually become unhip or uncool.
This is the difference. The greatest difference. You could die right now to a terrorist attack, a bomb, a deadly virus, and many other life-threatening accidents. Yet, you ignore all of these facts and live life with just this one mentality: It cannot happen to me because I am safe right now. It will not happen to me because it just won't. These two statements occur in your sub-conscious minds. You can say whatever you want but you know the truth. Either that or you would be in self-denial.
I am not saying that you should be living your life in fear. But you should at the least acknowledge that these are facts and that they can happen. You are a fool to be fearing the wrong things. You are afraid of trivial matters that matter not. That is the biggest mistake of humans living in this day and age. The time of peace that we all live in right now has given you a sense of over-security. You think that you are protected but remember this! Humans are fragile beings. You can break their limbs easily. You can also break their mind easily.
Death is all around you. You can try to run away from it pretending that death is always chasing you around biding its time to strike. But you are wrong. Death is a part of life. Once your life ends, that is death. Death is within you on a fuse like a bomb. Once the fuse, which is life, reaches its end, the bomb will detonate leaving death in its wake. Death is always with you. It is a part of life. All will die one day. And all will come to regret the things he/she has done in life on that day.
But this fear can be overcome by any humans in their life.
But then, there is always one fear that cannot be overcome by anyone in the world. They will always fear, GOD.
