Fear, The Invisible Companion Whose Instinctual Malevolence Knows No Bounds! Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

By Stanley Collymore

I have no fear at all of anyone or anything; not even death. And
until I draw my last breath this position, which I havealways
resolutely maintained, will unalterably for me remain the
same. For really what is fear? As I see it, it's a rather
improvident supposition of what might perchance
happen. Something that to all intents and purposes the
frightened person for a variety of reasons, and not
invariably entirely unconvincing ones, doesn't
want to happen. And should the catastrophe
the supposed victim is so rather petrified
of does honestly happen, then having
wished themselves sick concerning
it, was realistically a total waste
of both time and energy which
finally amounted to nothing.

So sensibly save your energy and time for something truly
positive to do, and which I'm confident will markedly
assist you in successfully eradicating from your
mind all those very negative and unpleasant
thoughts that you usually carry there, and
in the process of doing so make a much better as well
as a far more fascinating person, I'm sure, out of
you. And as for fearing death, it's completely
risible really getting yourself all needlessly
worked up about what's unambiguously
an inescapable outcome that no one,
including you, can reversibly alter
or do anything at all about either
significantly while you're still
physically here, and equally
less so after you're gone.

Author's Comments:
Fear as we Homo sapiens are conditioned as well as consistently led to believe is a crucial mechanism that effectively enables us, as well as other species that share this earth with us, to protect ourselves from danger, impending or otherwise, as well as assisting us in providing a viable framework for ourselves in order to safeguard our respective continuance as a specie.

That may well be true in some specific circumstances. But concertedly using fear or the tactic of fearmongering either as useful or convenient devices to literally scare the hell out of other people for one's own ends or to selfishly in the process of doing so secure rather unwarranted advantages for one's self, family members or friends at the expense of others, is categorically nothing more, I'm absolutely convinced, than the quintessence of sheer evil and malevolent narcissism.
