Fear for something unfamiliar 1

Uncertainty always gives us the feeling of insecurity because we are not sure and diffident to explore. We are advised not to talk with strangers, because we don't know what they may do to us. We are advised not to take the road that people rarely pick, because we are not sure what kind of place it will lead us to. Obviously and commonly, we fear the unfamiliarity and uncertainty.

People fear to go to a new place, because the place is unfamiliar. They might scare to get lost on the way going to the place, and get roped halfway unluckily because they don't know about the security condition over there. Eventually, people prefer to stay back to their own comfort zone that gives them the feeling of certainty and security. However, I have experienced many wonderful matters in my life once I took the opportunities to get into a new situation and a new place. I met funny friends during my national service, I met good teachers during Form 6 and I thank God seriously for I encountered God when I was brought into Christianity. I am pretty sure that I would make the same decision as what I have made to step out from my comfort zone often if I am given a chance to restart my life. After all, I believe that life is colorless for being stagnant, we need to cheer it up by having constant changes on certain aspects from one time to another.

Some people fear of getting along with strangers. I still remember that someone said that we will never meet good friends after our secondary school. This is because new friends didn't spend time with us during our crazy and memorable youth, end up we don't have memories in common. I believe that would be the influence but we can always create a new memory with anyone. I met a lot of crazy and good buddies along the way after my secondary school life. Those friends are actually helpful and friendly, not worse than the friends I made during my secondary school. Perhaps I have the habit to make new friends around, that's why I am not afraid of meeting new faces and having talks with them friendly. However, I know this kind of habit is not something can be commonly found around us. Perhaps, the fear of getting to know other strangers keeps us from being friendly and funny.How miserable it is!
