Argumentative Essay: Irrational Fear
I want to now engage a very closely related subject to the 'self-aware' conscious fear. This is because the most limiting fears of all are the sub-conscious ones.
Most of my professional work has been in creating programs where people are provided the circumstances and are placed in an environment so that can experience, engage and overcome an irrational fear Yet, is it an "irrational fear" to be concerned and afraid of being killed or severely wounded in an actual military combat situation? No, it is not; in combat this is a rational fear.
But the larger and much more important question is 'does that fear truly serve me'?

So the veteran that goes into that Butterfly Pavilion may suddenly feel sick and nauseous and yet have no idea as to why. He may almost involuntarily leave that environment at once and then once outside he begins to feel better. The PTSD incident may go thus go unexamined and remain as not being understood as being PTSD.
The survival value that this special biochemistry has provided us through our evolutionary development is reasonably obvious. Nature or Evolution is not directed toward any individual's survival, let alone any individual's mental well-being either. Nature is only works towards the survival of the species as a whole. PTSD episodes are not theoretical things to me personally either.
Human biochemistry underwrites a good deal of our behaviors and particularly the ones that we are not fully self-aware of. But this is also a case of where somehow the "Sum of the parts are Greater than the Whole" too. In the next article we will take a look at what is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of all of this biochemistry.
And that is the very same subject that the majority of all the world's literature, music and art in any form has had as its subject and theme for centuries. And 'cross culturally' globally too. That's subject is the arena of 'love and romance'. And as some of you surely know, that arena can be a battlefield
