There is deeper meaning hidden behind these words “Let go”. What is letting go? What comes to your mind when you hear this…perhaps letting go of a ball, letting go of childhood and growing up, but no, that’s not what your thinking. You are thinking of something deeper, something plaguing humanity, you are immersed in the thought of letting go of worries, of all apprehensions, these nagging feelings are the things that bother you most…FEAR. Yes! Letting go of fear… a world without fear is unknown, possibly never to be known, for society is so consumed by FEAR!


But you say I am a fool to think that fear can be let go, how could something so tangible as fear be let go, simply lifted from your shoulders. Yes, raised from you physically and mentally, imagine how great it would be to be free of all worry, of all fear, free to be the man you always wanted to be. Why you could walk into any situation and be comfortable… woman feel weak as you walk by, for you are Fearless! Men, no, little boys with fancy clothes pretending to be men want to be around you will be captivated by your dominance. No they are not jealous, they are in awe, for I am man, you will fear me or you will respect me.. but I don’t care for what you think of me, respect me or not… I have no time for your petty games for I must assemble my Empire! Yes how exciting it is to live life without fear. For fear is false says man, fear is petty, women fear not men!


Yes, that is all well and good, but why am I recurrently afraid if it is so unreal? Hmm…Yes, I am glad you ask, you see student your mind is naïve and untrained. You believe that fear is essential to life. Where as fear is merely a weakness that has no need, no place, it is not part of man. So you’re saying that we are born without fear?

Yes! Excellent young recruit! When we are born fear is not with us, fear is not learned. One is innocent when born, pure of all prejudices, and everything man needs he has the moment he is born. He is complete. But then… the clay of society introduces itself to you. At first piece-by-piece, (prejudice, self-doubt, fear, stress) but that doesn’t slow you down yet, you shrug them off, your young your focus is on fun where it should be. But you grow older then you begin to feel tired of the burden, you start slowing down, losing the childish energy you once had, and the pieces now become chunks… soon you are no longer innocent, no longer pure of thought, it begins to cloud your mind and make you think that this is the way life in ‘supposed’ to feel.
You think life is naturally cruel, you become cynical and distrusting… By this time the clay has enclosed your body and hardened. You are not man, you have become your fears, others do not see you nor man they see your fear, they see the clay that covers man. I’m beginning to understand now; society is turning our men into fearful woman following puppies. That is why we chase women so much, we think if “I capture woman I must be a man. ” Yes, and this is wrong why? Because man does not need woman, man exists alone, woman needs man to survive! Yes, your mind is becoming clear now!Woman is not meant to be the pursued, man is meant to be pursued.... For he is fearless! He chooses which woman suits him. This is why we are frustrated; this is why women are frustrated we have forgotten how to be man! eyes…they are allured by his gaze and submissive to his charm.

For women sense when man is real and they are enticed by him.
But alas callow youth, so many ‘men’ are living as slaves to their fear. That is why I ask of everyone’s help to go out into the world and open as many eyes as imaginable, so many eyes are clouded. The world can be changed, it starts here. We as Don Juan’s must lead them through darkness into the light….

Great inspiring post my friend! I often think how my life could be if fear was not an issue. You are so right about society being captivated by fear.
I am consciously working to push through my fears, and I think this is the key......WHEN YOU RECONGNISE THAT IT IS FEAR THAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION, THEN SIMPLY PUSH STRAIGHT THROUGH THAT FEAR AND DO WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WERE FEARLESS.

I'm trying to pull together the over-all attitude of this forum so as to be most effective in my post... also finding time to write it! But I can say that if you truly understand my post you will be a "Don Juan" :cool:

Great post.. I agree that so often people are trapped by their own fears. It's silly when you look at it from outside, but somehow very real when living it. A member on this forum (Kaizen) mentioned that the only fears we are born with are the fear of falling, and the fear of loud noises. That means everything else is learned.. how sad that so many are consumed by fears.

I was watching the movie Gangs of New York (great movie..) the other day, and one of the characters said "the only thing keeping me alive is fear", but thats realy the only thing keeping him, or anybody else for that matter, from really living.

Guys, if something is holding you back... ask your self "What am I afraid of..? Am I going to live in fear the rest of my live?" Hell no.. im going to take risks and live.. even if I fail, at least I tried..
