'Fear Cocktail'


1. FEAR is a subjective and malfunctioning component of the emotional complex, totally lacking in the ability to reason or think.

2. The more things you SURRENDER TO FEAR today, the even greater number of things you will fear tomorrow.

3. The extent to which you surrender to fear, the greater the control and POWER OF FEAR in your life.

4. The greater the power of fear in your life, the greater your CAPACITY FOR FEAR.

5. The greater your capacity for fear, the greater your chances for INSTABILITY AND FAILURE in all decisions and realms of life.

6. Fear and COURAGE are antithetical. Courage is an objective function of the mind, which cultivates and promotes the ability to think
rationally without illusion and to concentrate with grace under pressure.

7. Fear becomes a perpetual vortex which drains into a toxin breeding sewer of self doubt, self absorption, SELF INDUCED MISERY and
eventually blackout of the soul.

8. Courage provides stability, inner strength and poise which parlay into a durable capacity for TRANQUILITY AND HAPPINESS... during the highs
of pleasant circumstances, the lows of extreme adversity as well as the many ordinary days of small things inbetween.

9. HAPPY HOUR: "Belly up to the bar, Boys and Girls. What is your pleasure this fine evening? Your usual? Would that be neat or on the rocks?"

10. CLOSING TIME: "Yes, sadly it's 'last call'. All the bartenders realize that sometimes too much to drink is not enough. At the same time,
the establishment policy safeguards against living under the influence (LUI), which is still on the books as a serious and punishable offense.
Please drive safely. Cheerio!"

Personally, I like spreading The Fear. I could nourish a small Asian village with my supply.

Maybe it was a dream... possibly the same as the one in your interesting profile.

It isn't always a malfunctioning component. Some fear is healthy and can be life-saving. It can keep us from doing something dangerous before we have had the time to figure out rationally why we shouldn't do it.

Thanks. 😀 You still missed one, though. 😉

Really?

Well, perhaps you should be posting this on the discussion forum for the US players amongst us. They seem indefinitely scared of everything and anything...

Yes, Sicilian Smaug, absolutely agree. 'Guilt Fizz' (one of the worst trips ever taken) is also on the universal top shelf of the same
emotional complex. Might as well offer/serve hatred, vindictiveness, implacability and self-pity as bitterness chasers. You'd make a cool,
calm and professional bartender. 🙂

I think it's a reference to irrational fear.

Inordinate apprehension, morbid dread, frenetic agitation and irrational alarm fueled by compounded emotional malfunction on the
one hand... careful forethought, prudent decisions, reasonable cautions and necessary precautions on the other. Distinction with
a difference, I believe.

P.S. Left one misspelled just for you... please tell me which one it was. 🙂

It is, Shav, but then 'irrational' is the defining dimension of fear.

Sure we've both observed folks fixated on silly superstitions born

in childhood, hearing leaves fall, afraid of their own shadows, etc.

I'm a USA guy and wrote this to my countrymen. Sometimes I have to

remind myself that RHP resides in the UK and that the reach is global.

See no need to attempt to defend the courage and honor of any US

citizen... even though ours like all countries has its share of oddballs.
