Fear

Fear...What is fear? How is fear instilled within you. Are humans born with Fear? What exactly are things people fear the most?

Wikipedia says:
"Fear is an emotional response to threats and danger. Fear should be distinguished from anxiety, which typically occurs without any external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result of threats that are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.[1] Fear is often connected to pain (e.g. some fear heights because if they fall, they may suffer severe injury or even die upon landing). Many theorists, such as Watson and Ekman, have suggested that fear is one of several basic, innate emotions (e.g. joy and anger). Fear is a survival mechanism, and usually occurs in response to a specific negative stimulus. "

What I fear the most does not hurt me physically, it does not cause me death nor harm.
But what I do fear the most do cause me a great loss. I fear not being successful in life as a whole.
As humans we are brought upon the values that we were placed on this earth for a reason and everybody has their own reason for being on earth, but what about the people who do nothing with their life. They differ greatly than the people who perform heart surgery.

In the next couple years how will my individual life effect the world or will my life be meaningless. Everybody wants to feel that they are needed and wanted. Everybody wants to feel like they mean something but this only happens by being successful. Now honestly everybody can not be successful...life is not that far. Sometimes certain obstacles are placed in your life just so you cant be successful. Am I one of those people?

My biggest goal is to go to film school and become a movie editor and director. But am I equipped with the right tools to do so?....
