 * What do people fear about the unknown or abnormal?**

People fear the unknown and abnormal because they do not know what is inside of it or anything about it. They do not like the darkness and the uncertainty behind the unknown. They live in fear of those that are different because they have no knowledge of them. Because of this fear, people are not willing to venture into the dark and they close their mind to everything but what they know. They do not open their minds up to different ideas, people, or even different perspectives on themselves. They do not welcome who they are, and instead they repress their inner spirit. They focus on the flaws in people and everything around them, they think in only one dimensional terms, not considering other ways to look at the world, and they fear what other people think of them; they waste most of their life living in fear of what could happen.

**Personal Philosophy:** Be open to new ideas and enjoy life; do not fear the dark, but welcome it and venture into it; do not live your entire life wishing you had done some things, but never had the guts to do them. Life's what you make it, and it's short, so do not waste time, and live life to the fullest. Don't hold back, don't worry, and don't be afraid of anything; be outgoing and open to knew ideas and possibilities. Don't close your mind off to something and draw conclusions just because it's different; give everything a chance. Learn to accept and be at peace with yourself, and find the joy in everything and everyone, even if they are unknown to you; look at everything in a new light. Be who you want to be and don't let fear of what other people think push you in certain directions. Be yourself! Have fun!

Mosaic Poem:

<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);">

I am not solitary whilst I read and write Though nobody is with me I am glad to the brink of fear I have no tears to shed There I feel that nothing can befall me in life



But, if a man be alone, let him look at the stars The stars awaken a certain reverence They are inaccessible But every night come out these envoys of beauty and light the universe with their admonishing smile All natural objects make a kindred impression When the mind is open to their influence There I am not alone and unacknowledged

<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 5, 1);"><span style="color: rgb(74, 184, 46);"><span style="color: rgb(157, 68, 228);">

Have I not indeed been living in a dream? I want to open myself! To go into solitude I become a transparent eye-ball I am nothing, I see all I see light, when there is only darkness I see the world Just not as you see it

<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);">

I'm left to the guidance of my own will Became the master of my own actions The only right is what is after my constitution: To live life to the fullest potential To live while I'm alive To live deep To suck out all the marrow of life To live ever in a new day

I did not want to live what was not life...



I do not wish to expiate, but to live My life is for itself and not for a spectacle Sometimes we don't do things we want to do So that others won't know we want to do them I want to never be bullied into silence To never allow myself to be made a victim To never waste a minute of my precious life I want to define myself <span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);"> media type="youtube" key="QILToEZPMBc" height="315" width="388"

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd To believe your own thought To believe that what is true for you in your private heart That is genius Difference of opinion is advantageous The eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts We are loath to disappoint them



You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud I am monarch of all I survey<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);"> My right there is none to dispute There ain't no load that I can't hold Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. So I sound my barbaric yawps over the roofs of the world

media type="youtube" key="qjtbhmQhsXg" height="330" width="402"

I do not worry about what will happen Only what needs to be done Thus, thus, and not otherwise, shall I be lost As long as possible live free and uncommitted In every<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);"> work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts They come back to us with a certain alienated majesty If we do our work, we shall reinforce ourselves



A large mirror now stands where none had been perceptible before And, as I step up to it Mine own image Advances to meet me I prefer to be true to myself Even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others Rather than to be false And incur my own abhorrence Act singly, and what I have already done singly Will justify me now I want to live while I can



The greatest gift that anyone can give anyone else is life The uncertainty inside of me begins to dissipate The ache that I once felt is gone So live, as the long train of ages glides away I will stand here for humanity Speak your latent conviction Be it how it will Do right now That's what you call power

<span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);">

I have given my soul... As I watched the first glimmers of sunlight peek over the horizon I stop somewhere waiting for you It's now or never Life is full of beauty Notice it. Smell the rain and feel the wind Dream as if you'll live forever Live as if you'll die today Carpe Diem! Rejoice while you are alive Enjoy the day Make the most of what you have



One day your life will flash before your eyes, Make sure it's worth watching... <span style="color: rgb(0, 130, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(244, 0, 255);"> <span style="font-family: georgia,bookman old style,palatino linotype,book antiqua,palatino,trebuchet ms,helvetica,garamond,sans-serif,arial,verdana,avante garde,century gothic,comic sans ms,times,times new roman,serif;">
