Fear or Comfortable Compliance

I wonder or at least I hope one day this pandemic will be over.  Some say it will never be over but if one day it is, there will be those people who will continue to wear masks years from now on and businesses that will continue requiring proof of vaccination to enter. 

Do these people do this out of fear or compliance to a science that makes them comfortable?

We have to realize at some point in our society we will have to standby what is acceptable and what is not.  I say, of all the changes that have taken place since 2020 this is not the right direction our country should be going.  Its seems as the pandemic was the turning point for the progressives to start their agenda to transform the world. Conservatives, do not give in to the progressive agenda, hold true to your values, do not become comfortable with compliance and fear the repercussions of your resistance. 

Fear

 An emotion that could completely control you. It is normal to have it if not we would probably not exist because we would be going into danger and not thinking of the consequences of our actions.

I believe we have to understand our limits to this emotion and that takes courage. Courage and fear go together because one without the other could end in bad results.  Everybody's level of fear is different, it depends on your life experiences, your age, and your emotional fitness. Based on those experiences will indicate how we tackle fear. We need to keep all this in mind when we see fear in others. It might seem trivial to us but it could be terrifying to them.  I not sure what the answer would be to help those in fear without the courage element. I think just listen and maybe offer some our your experiences on how you deal with situations of fear.

Achieve

I recently watched a program about the human reaction to fight or flight. The test subjects were a SWAT team from the LA Police Dept. 

In the study, They monitored each team members heart rate, and breathing. The scenario was a simulated hostage situation.  The Team Leader was injected with Adrenalin to increase his heart rate to add stress to the simulation.

Once the exercise started, each members heart rate and breathing immediately increased. The team went through a realistic situation with loud noises, smoke, dark rooms and two assailants.

In the end the good guys win, but in reviewing the monitors, heart rates increased, but breathing leveled off and remain stable.  The SWAT team is continually trained on regulating breathing. This helps the oxygen flow to the blood enabling them to think clear and make quick decisions.

The exercise demonstrates the human ability to go beyond physical and emotional limits in stressful situations. The SWAT team resisted the flight mode of the human response and took control of their senses to respone to the fight.

The human response is not necessarly an automatic response. There is no limit to the human capaticy to achieve.  An Olimpic Weightlifter in their mind has no limit, just as the SWAT team could overcome fear.

We should always strive to achieve our best.

Thought and Purpose

The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do. Doubt and fear are the great enemies of knowledge, and he who encourages them, who does not slay them, thwarts himself at every step.
He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure. His every thought is allied with power, and all difficulties are bravely met and wisely overcome. His purposes are seasonably planted, and they bloom and bring forth fruit which does not fall prematurely to the ground.
