dont let fear pulls you down

There are over 6.35 billion in the World. In the course of a life, working, socializing, love, sex, tragedy, lies, deceit, religious belief, demonstrations, education, reinvent packages, etc one still finds loneliness spreading every where. Looking at the World's population, one will think there are so many people packaged it this over-populated Earth. Yet there is still loneliness spreading its wing into every fabric of society - you can be rich, middle class, poor or homeless, you find you are alone in this wide populated World. You ask why? Fear my friend. You can't allow relationship to flourish because you fear there is/are ulterior motive(s). It is understandable in this crazed society. So instead of venturing out to socialize, you walk backwards and hide within the walls of your home. You feel secured. It is in the own home so why worry? But if you read reports about robberies and break-ins, you aren't safe in your own home too. Because there is no such thing as a safe haven. You can look and try to make it, you can't find it. That is why God commanded to love your neighbour. Neighbourliness helps to bridge the loneliness of fear. In this present context in our society, it will take time to fulfill the obligation to help one another without ulterior motive(s) It is in the villages or kampongs that one could find the neighbourliness reigns in one lives. I miss those times back in the kampong. With rapid developments in the country, social interaction will be limited. Every one is living fearful of one another not knowing what the other will do or behave. Fear draws the line in one relationship. Like the report about a 14 years old boy lured a 14 years old girl to have sex after he took her for a lunch or something. Or the stepfathers raped stepdaughters........or the recent one in Raub about a 46 years old policeman and a 14 years old girl having sex then circulated in the net...So it is understandable when fear pitches in one's mind. By playing safe people stay alone. Is it healthy in living? Life is an adventure; you only live once no matter what happens, and you have to make full use of it. I remembered during my working life, my cashier kept counting her cash till every transaction. When I saw her doing it all the times, I asked her why. She said she was afraid she might give extra cash to the customers. I told her when you kept doing it in fear, you would lose your cash no matter how many times she counted her cash till. True enough it happened. Within 5 minutes she lost $50/- when she counted her cash till. Earlier she had entertained a customer, she could have give extra $50/- to the customer. So she cried. And I helped her to cover her loss. I could see how happy she was then. Life must take chances every part of the way. Just remember this 'No venture no gain' or 'No smile no customer'
