Love vs. Fear

Deep down when you peel down the layers of all emotions there are only two primary emotions. Love and Fear. It is from these two emotions that other feelings originate from. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace and Joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. Unfortunately these two polar opposites cannot mutually co-exist within ones' heart at any given point in time, there is either fear or love. It's impossible to have these feelings co-exist. Constantly in our minds we have to make a decision to be in a state of love or fear. At each point in time we choose one or the other. People fluctuate between these two emotions constantly however we must understand that in choosing love that does not guarantee that you will never experience fear again but rather when you choose to love, in time your fears will surface and will be finally healed. In the very beginning of my last relationship I was full of fear however as time progressed my love for this person expanded and grew and it gave me courage to choose love over fear. I felt with her in my life and my love for her i could conquer anything. It gave me the confidence to face many issues i had through the love that i was experiencing for her and also for myself. This love was like this energy,,, this constant energy that morphed and transcended into so many aspects of my life. Through this process i learned how to love myself better and to fully deal with the fears that i had with my past. Although this person has now left me, i no longer fear what i have been burdened with all these years. Instead i think in the process of choosing love over fear, i was able to look at all these 'ghosts' in my closet and deal with them head on. Althought right now my journey is going to be a difficult one i no longer feel that i am burdened with the past, i only have to deal with issues that i am currently experiencing now. The past is no longer relevant nor should it dictate the direction that i will take in the future.
