A time to fear

Posted on by

Time Theory of Fear

.

Do the thing you fear, the fear disappears.

.

If you do not do something your fear, that thing remains in your future.

Future implies possibilities and uncertainties. The fear is due to the uncertainties.

But once you have started the thing your fear, the thing is already in your present.

The uncertainty is much less.

.

The fear before an exam is greater than the fear during the exam.

The fear before an announcement of exam results is greater than the fear after.
