THE PERCEPTION OF FEAR- MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH
every decision that we make and every perception that we
form is driven by certain psychological factors. do you know what the biggest
driving factor behind the decisions that we make is? it's not a choice or want,
it is fear.
it is the most
important psychological factor that determines how we react to a situation. we
may fear something and will intentionally avoid it out of fear and this
is the very tool that people in power have used since ages to control others.
what is this fear? how can something so rudimentarily
embedded in our brain's evolution be used to control us? fear is just our brain
trying to apprehend the results of any of our actions. and then get all tensed
up thinking about all the grave outcomes. people with intense anxiety know this
type of fear. when someone knows that the results of any action will be bad and
they will avoid it at all costs.
fear determines how
they feel about a situation. and they will avoid certain situations out of fear.
take for instance, a little kid playing in the park. he will try to jump off
from the merry-go-round just for fun and he will definitely do it the first time.
because he doesn't know how badly he could get hurt. but once he jumps and
bruises his knees or even fractures his limbs, he will never repeat it again. this
is what fear makes people do.
this is the way our
brains have evolved and this psychological phenomenon has kept the human race
alive through thousands of years, but not anymore. Today, fear is being used to
manipulate and control people so that a select handful can benefit from it. we
often consume a lot of fear from a variety of different sources in the type of
news media that we watch. the type of people that we communicate with we may be
fearful from a lot of things that we hear, that we may have never even seen
before.
fear is one of the
greatest tools to control people. it has been used to encourage people to do
things they wouldn't normally want to do in a calm state of mind or avoid doing
anything at all.
fear changes the way
we respond to the situation and can make us act in a way that is the complete
opposite of what we would normally do.
fear is such a great
tool to get people to do things that it is used in many marketing campaigns. it
is so inherently incorporated in our daily lives that we are unable to even realize
that our actions are controlled by fear.
we all have a variety
of different types of fears and some of us go to extreme lengths to avoid it.
many of us have a fear of death and are afraid of dying. we will try to combat
it the best. we can via the artificial drugs marketed as scientific means yet
completely ignore the natural ways to strengthen our immune system and live a
healthy lifestyle.
the suggestion of
fear is clear as daylight. when watching and reading sponsored videos and
articles about health all of them suggest that the chemicals in our food and
water are contributing to cancer and other health-related concerns. we consume
the information and think that because of what we eat and drink, we will die.
also in the article a
magical supplement or essential vitamin or mineral will be mentioned that can
help us lo and behold people will buy that product just out of fear. they may
not even be aware that their impulsive buying was due to the fear that was
implanted within them.
we are all controlled
by fear. fear controls all of us. just open your eyes and look around yourself.
everywhere you see, everything you experience it's all being controlled by fear.
take elections for
another example. politicians know exactly how to trigger the feeling of fear
and anxiety among the masses. they don't try to sell themselves as the perfect
candidates worthy of your vote. instead they try to make you focus on the
things that might happen to you. if the other guy comes into power they will
try to paint the picture of a hyper-exaggerated dystopian situation. if their
government doesn't come to power extensive campaigns are run both physically
and digitally. posts are spread on social media, people are reminded time and
time again of the harmful outcomes if they don't vote for the particular
candidate. as a result the people will start believing that the consequences
are real and start fearing .
thus their actions become much easier to control. just with
the hint of fear you see this is how a small suggestion of fear can control you
to the extent that you make such a major decision just as they want.
knowing the harmful
outcome is definitely a cause of fear but not knowing the outcome is also an
equally fear-inducing situation.
the fear of the
unknown is one of the biggest things. it has kept humankind from some of the biggest
inventions and discoveries for so long. when the higgs boson particle accelerator
was being built nobody knew what the results were going to be people speculated
that colliding particles at such high speeds could be extremely explosive and
thus should be avoided others thought that it might collapse. the laws of
physics as anything could happen in other words. people did not know what was
going to happen and thus were fearful.
just by apprehending
the results ultimately our ultimate fear is the fear of death. the fear of our
existence coming to an end. the people that we will leave behind what's going
to happen to us after we die we don't want to know the answers to these
questions.
so we have fear.
imagine a scenario where an unknown and mysterious pathogen has unleashed on
the planet. a deadly disease that is invisible and incurable everyone has it as
it is contagious and the situation has been amplified by the news media and
health experts as they say millions are going to be infected and die. does this
sound familiar? it should because that's what happened in 2020.
it initially started
out as a serious and deadly infection where millions were projected to die but what
happened in reality? shortly after those initial projections were lowered
drastically because of extremely low fatality rates.
however people still
retain the initial fear in their minds and were trained to believe that their loved
ones, friends, and every other person they come into contact with as well as
the fresh air that gives them some life was an enemy but why because once fear
is implanted and continuously reaffirmed by the news media and health officials
then it's hard to actually be calm and rational and differentiate between fear
and facts.
this is a good
example of how fear has been used to control the population. you can choose to
be afraid of something you are scared about but never let anyone fill you with
fear.
