Fear

Fear.

Some people are afraid of spiders. Others are afraid of heights, some are even terrified of wide open spaces. Someone asked me what I was afraid and I laughed and said nothing. Then they asked again. Then I started to think about. I started going through different things in my head. Any animals? Nope. Heights? I'm 6'4 I hope I'm not afraid of heights. Water, enclosed spaces, odd things? None. Then it hit me.


I'm not afraid for myself, but for others. I'm afraid of not being able to help a friend. I'm supposed to be the guy who has all the answers. When things go from bad to worse they call me. And so far I've been lucky enough to have given advice that hasn't blown up in my face. But I have come across situations where I just don't know. I don't have any advice for them. I don't know what to do. I don't even know what to say. And that HORRIFIES me.
