Every morning he wakes up feeling fears. Every night he wants to
sleep early but he is afraid as tomorrow’s morning comes too quickly.
He follows
daily news of grief from the sky to the land. He learns the unfathomable pains
flood across many countries from Africa to Asia; encompassing terrorism, war-fields,
climatic and natural disasters. Thousands of civilian lives lost, thousands
more are in grief; so many children died, many more scarred psychologically by
what they witnessed as terror and grief. The amount of sadness and horror is
beyond expression.
He knows he is very fortunate that he is in a safe place, for
now. The fear
does not go away. It is a disgrace, a disrespect to attempt to compare
himself to an grieving affliction. But, the fear is neurologically imprinted. He
is not weak. He has a mental disorder. He knows he is not alone. While medication
is a must, what truly faces an uphill task is the inner self. For now, he may
be physically healthy, to learn the inflicted sufferings of so many is simply a
mind runs amok.
Where can he seek true peace?
