And hence it's ironic those who we fear confronting are those we SHOULD confront.
This is by design -- this is a test; a hurdle of sorts. Once you pull the trigger on that fear...
You are no longer afraid. You have conquered that wall. This is why people get stuck on step 1...
They are afraid of not only taking step one, but concocting/assembling the proper methods.
You are afraid of stopping the enemy, but first can you even admit you're prepared to fight them?
Your soul YEARNS to be that change, but your mind disallows you to try & break the barrier...
Those who we fear stand for some place before us -- some stone/torch to be passed...
But we fear that because once they're gone, we feel we bear some new borne identity.
What becomes of us when we defeat those who we fear, and whom we must face?
Even if we imagine ourselves in victory of defeat, can we accept the new implications?
Many low inhib people usually get past fears fast, because they don't necessarily think/hold back.
When we get to the point where fear is not our placater, then what anew becomes it?
What stands before us once we chip past our natural quiescence? Are we no longer us?
In an almost universal manner we fear facing those we know open our paths to new.
But at the same time, do you fear the person? The person is the obstacle - you the brakes.
These people represent your fears; you fear them because their challenge is your change.
Their position & your response to it determines where you stand & thus what you are.
Self-preservation matters to some; particularly those with set or disparate identity scope.
These people not only scare us, but limit us by fear in ultimately what next we become.
If nothing holds you back, what fears do you really have? This brings up a VERY important point...
You aren't afraid of confrontation -- you're afraid of changing in to that warrior & being the sole one to stand against the quo. You fear not only the person but the change of balance.
