Conquering Fear

Fear

There was a lion who feared nothing except the crowing of cocks. A chill would go down his spine whenever he heard a cock crowing.

One day he confessed his fear to the elephant, who was greatly amused.
"How can the crowing of a cock hurt you?" he asked the lion.
"Think about it!"

Just then a mosquito began circling the elephant's head, frightening him out of his wits.
"If it gets into my ear I'm doomed!" he shrieked, flailing at the insect with his trunk.
Now it was the lion's turn to feel amused.

Our fears most of the time are like this, unreasonable. If we could see our fears as others see them we would realize that most of our fears make no sense.

Conquering Fear

I don't need to say much, do I? First, the paragraph says it all-most of the time, our fears are unfounded, but because we are scared, they get the better of our faith. Like the skateboarder has done-you think he will fall on his head? No way!
