Adam Smith

The real and effectual discipline which is exercised over a workman is that of his customers. It is the fear of losing their employment which restrains his frauds and corrects his negligence.

My Biggest Fear

I have this feeling it’s called fear
I have the fear of who will be dying or will I be next?
If I stop think about “how can I have myself prepare? “.
This fear is consuming me.
It’s like stealing something from me.

I don’t know what it is….
How to deal with it
I want to see it........

Can anyone help me to see?
Does this feeling go away?
Are these feelings real or fake.

I also have a fear of not achieving my dreams
That thought makes me want to scream.
I have Fear of my life.Every day that’s not much
I could say on that, I try give it my strife

The real world gives me fear too.
Sometimes, “I wish everything would disappear
Instead appear into fear”.

The Fear of losing my mother before I am ready to let her go.
What road do I take so I won’t let fear win.
Fear takes my thoughts of losing my husband, and
losing one of my children too.
Even though, I almost did loose a child.

I can let the fear, do what it is doing..
I fear of losing my dearest friend.
I am sorry I cant pretend that fear is not here.

The fear of my own death and the cause of it will be?

I don’t want to see.

The fear of my lifestyle should it be the way it should be lived?

or should it be change?

Do I dear change it, but how?

I know that I have a fear of being alone.

It’s the unknown

Is My Biggest Fear

Laurence Olivier

I'd like people to remember me for a diligent expert workman. I think a poet is a workman. I think Shakespeare was a workman. And God's a workman. I don't think there's anything better than a workman.

Fear of...

Fear of one thing
Fear of many things
Fear of winning nothing, but just losing
Fear of life and what is called death
Fear of being too happy, only to get hurt again
Fear of something becoming nothing
Fear of losing something of much value
Fear of love becoming hate
Fear of being liked or disliked, is of the same
Fear of misunderstanding what is understood by others
Fear is of many things
But what makes fear?

Fear Of Losing

Fear
its fear of losing
the one who loves deeply
lives with fear of losing,
till he dies

As the day pass
the degree of fear may
rise up and up.
it creates flood in heart
and tears in eyes.

then they may whisper
'its hard to deal with pain of losing you'

The Fear Of Fear

Fear is not what I am afraid of.
True, it is a frightful thing to fear;
But the fear of fearing fear is overwhelming
Especially when its form becomes sheer

Fear is like losing a tree of shade on a bristling day
Or losing your breath when you fall below the sea;
I fear this fear of fearing these fears
And it is this fear that is part and parcel of me.

Fear is like loving without being loved back,
Fear is like leaving without being left;
And the fear of loving and leaving and being loved and being left
Is opposed by the fear of not fearing anything
And being an empty vase, noisy and bereft

I fear not death nor do I fear life,
But I fear the fear of both as my peers;
If I could release one fear from my fears
It would be the fear of fearing these fears.

What is fear?

Fear is stormy weather
Fear is light as a feather
Fear is rain
Fear is pain
Fear is hiding in the dark
Fear is lingering at the park
Fear is not your friend
Fear is hard to comprehend
Fear is not knowing what to do
Fear is what ever he wants to
Fear is turning out the lights
Fear is having no sight
Fear is going to give you a thrill
Fear is also going to make you kill
Fear is never fun
Fear is going to make you run
Fear is that scary little voice
Fear is going to give you no other choice
Fear is losing someone
Fear is like a loaded gun
Fear is something you can't control
Fear is something you can't unfold
Fear is the opposite of love
Fear is what we're made of
Fear is not going to please
Fear is always me...

When I fear I may be losing you

When I fear I may be losing you
~
When I fear I may be losing you
A dull pain strikes my heart
I become inconsolable to all thought
I mourn myself a terrible loss
What is this I ask myself
This thought which brings such misery
Which saddens me in such a way
That all beauty becomes forgotten
You have become the world
All that lays within it, my love
In fearing I may be losing you
I ache a sorrowful loneliness
I count the hours between each kiss
Each longing look into your eyes
I pray that I count not too much
For the numberless agonies
Are the distance between us
When I fear I may be losing you
I am inconsolable by truth

When I fear i'm losing you

When I fear i'm losing you
~
When I fear I'm losing you
the look in your eye
the warmth of your smile
eases my worries
brings joy to my heart
you take away my fears
let me know I'm not alone
and there I find in you
all the love I seek
the answers I long to hear
I listen to your words
taking my heart in hand
keeping me safe
letting me know I'm loved
then to your kiss
so soft, gentle, kind
when I fear I'm losing you
you always remind me
your a part of my life

I Live In Fear

i live
in fear of dying

i walk in the streets,
in fear of being ran over

i sink in the water,
in fear of drowning

i staw away from you,
in fear of losing you

i cut myself,
in fear of bleeding

i destroy flowers,
in fear of getting tehm

i give away my heart,
in fear of having it stolen

i hate myself,
in fear of hating otehrs

i seclude myself,
in fear of being secluded by others

i kill myself,
in fear in fear

You've Allowed This To Happen

We teach.
They learn.
And they pass on these lessons taught.

We cry.
We sigh.
And our behavior we deny.

Hiding from that,
We attract to seek...
Until it is caught.

And nothing we do is comprehended.
Or pretend what it is begins to offend.
Nothing we do,
Seems to us enough to defend.

We point our fingers.
And over again accuse them.
The 'others'
For our negligence,
And lack of discipline.

Until everyone is blinded,
To a hindsight that runs into a brick wall.
With graffiti written tall that appalls...
YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
And yet this message,
Is ignored by all.

We teach.
They learn.
And they pass on these lessons taught.

We cry.
We sigh.
And our behavior we deny.

Hiding from that,
We sought and attracted.
Reacting as if,
We did not crave the satisfaction.

We point our fingers.
And over again accuse them...
The 'others'
For our negligence,
And lack of discipline.

YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.

And that message is whitewashed.
As if nothing on the wall,
Had been written at all.

YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
YOU'VE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN...
From Sunrise to nightfall.

Not being in tune with your customers is like living in an alternate reality; the way you think your customers feel about your product is not always the same as what your customers really think about your product.

Your God Is Fear

Your god is fear
That all you are
Is all there is
Your god is fear
And nothing more
Of all of this
Your god is fear
Been and gone
in the blink of an eye
Fear of ever breathing
Fear of ever leaving
Fear of ever changing
Forever, for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
That all you are
Is all there is
Your god is fear
Of nothing more
Than all of this
Your god is fear
Been and gone
In the blink of an eye
Fear of ever choosing it
Fear of ever losing it
Fear of ever playing
Forever, for now
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Your god is fear
Just for a moment
Feel it inside
Feel it alive
Feel your desire
Feel it catch fire
Feel it inspire
How all you are
Is all there is
Nothing ever moves
In anything
Open your mind
Step out of time
Let yourself die
And your god is
Your god is
Your god...

Heart Of Glass (Live In Oxford)

Once I had a love and it was a gas
soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out, I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And I'm feeling fine love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion
And I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using
Please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising
Yeah!
Yeah riding high
On love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing
Only to find much mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing
And "I'm feeling fine" love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good you teasing like you do

Fear

what am i most afraid of?
losing my health?
losing my job?
losing my family?

losing my virility?
losing my self-image?
losing my dignity?
losing my sanity?

losing my life?
or ending up alone
in the darkness
without reason or form
or direction.

what am i most afraid of?
and why?

Fears of a teenage mafioso

Fear of love,
Fear of pain,
Fear of the unforgiving cane,
Fear of lies,
Fear of sighs,
Fear of those distraught eyes,
Fear for the unknown,
Fear for the known,
Fear of everything combined,
Fear is what makes me blind,
Fear is what makes me think,
and act in blind accordance,
Hindering the world around me,
Hence, My Fear of myself
Fear is when you run away,
Fear is when you’re scared to love someone,
Fear is when the sky turns grey,
Fear of confusion,
Fear is like a dark blue ocean,
Fear won’t let me escape
Fear mocks me, watching
Fear taunts me, waiting
Fear of losing,
Fear you cannot see,
Fear dealt upon thee.
Fear of darkness and death,
Fear of a dead comrade,
Fear of a gun being cocked,
Fear of being endlessly stalked,
Fear of time,
Fear of all the crime,
Fear of the undesirable truth,
Fear for the good.
Fear for the sake of life,
Fear of the neighbors next door,
Fear of the secretive man in the subway,
Fear of the revolutionary uproar,
Fear is to not rejoice your living,
Fear for the sake of your life,
But to fear is to forsake it.
Fear is to have no hope in life,
Fear of the fear of fear,
We need no reason to fear,
For fear has no reason for itself.
I guess life is just like that,
To fear for no reason,
For to fear is not to reason,
But to reason is to fear.
To fear for the sake of fear,
Is fear for fear,
So let me think,
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?
What else do I fear?

Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.
