Rooted Fear

 If you have lost everything, wife, family, job, home, car, health, why are you still frightened?  As it is said, "What have you got to lose?"  But fear is not always about losing something.  It is deeply rooted in some people, such as alcoholics after they sober up.  They still have fear, though they have lost everything.  Sobriety programs are meant to deal with this fear because it goes deep and is so much a part of the individual struggling to have some better life.  Not drinking is only the start.  But many a "normal" person still has deep seated fear.  Fear makes them strive for "more" of whatever, because there is never enough of things to bring them peace and contentment.  Rich bank accounts won't get rid of fear.  If fear if deep then the solution must go deep.  Prayer of meditation goes deep if you keep at it on a regular basis.
