what is fear?

FEAR could be a synoym to False Expectations Appearing Real
It was an indecisive week (last 7 days) as I was in midst of deciding to leave my 10 years employment to another one.
I could not decide as I was still have the fear of unknown and quite reluctant to leave the comfort zone ( its not easy to move from away from familiar to the unknown).
Again I learned and inspired by my daughter Eeanne this time.
Eeanne, she is 2 years plus old now, she is so energetic even though when there is no electricity in the house.
It was Wednesday nite, as usual we reached home after 9 pm, but this time the entire housing area was in darkness (temporary no power supply). So we have to live in darkness for 2 hours. We have to rely on candles and torch light. But it was not enough candles and torchlight to light up the whole house. But Eeanne was so excited, to her the temporary no power supply has presented her a new experience.
She did not even show any fear of darkness, on contrary she make full use of the torchlight to explore every corner of the house.
Suddenly I 'realised' something and I have the answer to my question of to resign from my current employment and move to a new organisation.
And the answer was obvious, it is because of my preconceived ideas or 'conditions' that i have accrued... so to speak that hindered me from making a concious decision.
Well, thank to my daughter of naiveness and sense of adventure that has helped me to reconciled my inner dilemma/conflict.
