Fear:F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal

A deeper look today, into the concept of conquering
the illusions of fear. A quote I heard long ago, that
I once mentioned before, (I honestly don't remember
the source, or if there is one specific one) was:
FEAR=
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

There is an important distinction, though, to
make this realization PRACTICAL in your
everyday life.

You see, the whole problem is that it DOES
appear real, so how can you TELL if it's
real or not?  This is the key question.

And the answer is to realize the RELATIVE
AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE.

See, there will ALWAYS be SOME "evidence"
for ANYTHING.

This is how some people abuse statistics to
prove whatever they want.

The solution is to see HOW SOLID THAT
EVIDENCE IS, HOW MUCH EVIDENCE
THERE IS, for something.

So, for example, just like some versions of
feminism went way too far with portraying
men as evil, when really there was no major
evidence for that, (there were SOME male
jerks, but that in no way is evidence for
ALL men being jerks), so too many of the
"get guys laid" gurus went way too far
with making it seem like all women
are actually nuts and are actually attracted
to jerks, etc, etc.

Again, no major EVIDENCE for this.
Sure SOME WOMEN may have gone out
with jerks, but was it because the guy was
a jerk, or was it because he was confident?
Was it because he was a jerk, or he had
some OTHER thing going for him, i.e.
looks, status, etc, etc.

So, too, when you see a woman you want
to approach, and you start saying to yourself
"oh, she would probably not want to talk
to me" WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?

Is it that ONE woman once said something
rather unfriendly?

Is that that you heard that some OTHER guy
got "rejected" and you don't want that to happen
to you?

Is that you are projecting onto all women your past
experience with some other woman?      

See, that's not enough evidence for making
a decision to never approach women again.

So from now on, don't just say "Is there any
real evidence for why I should be afraid?",
because if you ask that, you might very well
find A SHRED of what you might call
"evidence" for being "afraid", but when
balanced against the OCEANS of evidence
to the CONTRARY, you THEN realize that
there it's actually not evidence at all, no
more than seeing a few RAINDROPS is
"evidence" that you need to build an Ark.

Want A Great Woman? Be A Great Man

Thanks to a great guy I know, I heard about
this fantastic story on the news about the
best of human nature.

We often hear about how terrible people
are, and how terrible human nature is,
but the truth is, it's all up to us, we can
decide to be what type of person we
want to be.

And if you want a great woman, it only
makes sense to be a great man, on the
deepest levels.

Rather than focus on all the negative
people, both men and women out there,
let's just realize that most of the nasty
people have been horribly misguided,
whether by their parents, or by their
peers, or by something or someone
else.

But make no mistake about it, like
attracts like, and if you want  a
great woman, then we must become
great men.

And the reality is, that the greatest gift
a woman can give you, is to make you
want to be an even BETTER man.

So it's a never-ending fantastic cycle...

P.S. The point in the clip below is not
necessarily to take pills, but to be honest
with ourselves and do the work required
to become better men: Whether that's
becoming calmer, stronger, visiting an
excellent therapist, or any other work
on ourselves that needs to be done.
