- I think I have never come across anyone who has no fear. Nobody is invincible. Everyone is vulnerable. Nature has designed human beings to fear for self protection. Modern society people has more fear than the previous generations due to modernization, mechanization, digitization and automation.
As an example, previously people walking up staircases are quite safe but nowadays with escalators, you won't know when it is going to swallow you up and kill you. There is explosion of information online and we know too much about fearful events. Most people now have education so we fear they would overtake us and take away our jobs. Most of the things are done electronically and mechanically, so even if we work hard it is not of much used because the computers and machines can do better than us. Farming is also done by big powerful machines, so we can't even make a living by farming because the machines can do it. People are living longer in weaker health and the younger ones have to care for them. We also live longer and fear about nobody taking care of us in future. All these things add up to become our fears and cause anxiety among us.
Are all these modern inventions making our lives better? I don't think so. The good old days when everybody had their own power and role is much better. Certainly there are advantages in modern amenities but in the end, our lives are stressed and without purpose. Some people say never mind, nature born nature care and everything would take care of itself. That is not true and fear would hit everybody eventually.
So how do we overcome these fears and anxiety? As long as you are healthy and not suffering too much, then you are already blessed. Go to the hospitals and old age care home and you would know you are better than a lot of people. be grateful with all you have now, improve your life to the best of your ability and live securely.

- Sorry Samanthe, I overlooked your concern about your aging parents. Actually, as we grow up, our parents in turn age too and the inevitable thoughts of our parents getting weaker and may someday leave us. The thought of that is quite terrifying. Our parents have gone through so much hardship to raise us and it really hurts to see them slowly fading. It is frightening to imagine how we can survive without our parents. It is not that we need our parents to support us financially. It is the parental love and care. We all know that when everything fails and nobody cares, it is our parents who we can turn to. It is natural for you to be worried and depressed to see your parents age, but it is really beyond our control. What we can do is to give our parents the best care and love we can so that we can recall the happy times we have with out parents and have no regrets. Don't worry, you are a filial and caring daughter. One way or the other, you would have a fulfilled life and you would be taken care of. Be confident and face all these things with confidence. We stand by you. Take care.

- I fear lots of things, that not mean I am a coward. The more we know, and the more we know how frugile we are. We should fight forever, but with some sound thinking.
Anyway, glad to read your articles.

- Pretty much you have said about fear. And your view is right on most of us. To be grateful to be alive and then to seek if there any chance we can make it better.

- Aging is the process that we can not avoid, so we have to face it. Meanwhile, aging is also the treasure that we have gained much experience that we are going to be ready for another stage of life. As a job is like a step we are about to step and as a milestone we are to pave the way for upcoming career.

- I also have that kind of fear about parents geting old, and what can I do is to let them know I am doing right for them and tell them that they do not need worry much aobut me. They are aging, and we are growing, though now you probaly feel that you are not quite qualifed to be ready to face this truth, later you can do it well to shoulder your responsiblity.
