Fear Vs Love

Many people live in clutter, Not just physically but even emotionally eating themselves into overweight, live in debt, hate their jobs and otherwise live unhappy lives, unable and seemingly unwilling to change. Why? What do these have in common? What is the core issue?
Fear, or rather an absence of love. It is fear and not hate. Absence of love causes fear not hate. Absence of love brings darkness into life. IT influences your mind and though process and your self image /self respect and confidence levelsIF unhealthy and unconrolled, it assumes fanatic and chronic levels, stemming from fear of unknown or unwanted.
In the first, food is used to comfort upset emotions and to retreat into - a true friend that never lets you down. Here food can be anything, normal onese that add to your cholestrol /fat or even alcohols or even caffenie or even nicotine in the form of smoking. Actually what a person presumably sad is looking for food for thought and so indulges in such acts that keep in a bit busy whenever he wants to escape from a situation that is demanding from him more focus and concentration and thus cause him displeasure or he is afraid to face it. Fear of leaving oneself open to new experiences or incidents. Option to learn is lost due to fear. Option to build relationship and be a social being is lost by remaining alone with oneself due to fear. Option to enlarge your common sense and knowledge levels is lost by not speaking up and dealing with people around.
The glass has to be empty only then you can add to it. IF you fill your heart and mind and soul with fear then there is no choice to fill it up with any worthy thing at all.There is no scope for improvement, unless the unnecessary things are sent out, and reserve space for good things.
Debt is another symptom of fear - people get into debt for many fear-based reasons . IF you dont deserve have funds for having something, but to satisfy you ego and false prestige if you buy and accumulate things and end up billing in creditcards to have a false sense of 'have' instead of being 'havenot', this will lead you to uncontrolled debts.It is not possitve or possibiliyt thinking to say "what if an emergency happens and we don't have cash on hand to pay for it?" It is just an expression of ones helplessness. By adding items to our outward life ,like fancy clothes or expensive meals,clothing etc one cannot build ones self confidence. It has to come from within.
Working at a job you hate is nothing but fear - fear of not having enough, fear of being thrown out or even quitting and not being able to find other work or finding it and being stuck with something even worse, fear of not being to keep up with your "stuff habit" or your debt, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of relying on yourself, fear of doing things differently or out-of-the-box like running your own business, running off to another country, fear of letting the family down, fear of "wasting" your education, fear of what other will say, think, fear that your mom/dad/sister/evil art teacher were right and so on. This all again translates as fear of not having enough money, which inturn is due to lack of confidence or false ego.
Fear is the basis for pretty much all human suffering, Almost all problems and issues face by anybody has its root in some fear, or passion. Fear of Loss. Fear of not getting what one desired. And the opposite of fear is love. Love creates an ecosphere of calm and plenty, because you know there is enough (if only just enough) and so feel no need to "get mine before someone else does." Nor do you feel the need to hoard (clutter) or gather in more than you can afford (debt) to assure yourself of plenty. In a world of love, all are accepted and loved for their own personal strengths and forgiven their faults, therefore negating the need for drowning in the comfort of stuff and food (debt and overweight), or worrying about what others will think if you quit your job and take up toxic job. And on and on. Love solves all problems. Love brings all sort of help from everyone around. Where love is overflowing there is no place for Desires and so there is no lacking and in turn no fear of loss.
There is nothing to loose, for nothing was yours and due to love everything is available to you and all yours if for everybody else. Learn to live with love, for yourself and for others, even when they don't meet your standards . Everybody deserves to be loved and should inturn love everybody.the mighty and meek alike. You will never ever feel wanting.
Creating a world of love is up to each of us. Waiting to see if others take the first step does not bring any gain, and it is for us to gain a lot by taking the initiative. The art of making friends is by being friendly , yourself, in the first place.
