Categories/types of..a hierarchy.. By (me!) Sandra, tvgp
On Hold: honoring my Dr Maya Angelou.. I found out from a friend; somehow better than learning from an indifferent mass media news source.. -very rough morning yesterday..
***
I'm wanting to write soon about fear, and sin, and other umbrella topics in a more specific way.. In a -types of- and -hierarchs- way.
The details will follow.. But we use ONE WORD.. Fear, for example.. And speak to conquering it; when it is very important to take into consideration what it is that a person fears..
Public speaking, for example.. May be a fear. But the fear has to do with failing.. Fear of failure..
Vs. Say,
-fearing for your very life...
It is my experience, observation, and opinion that we cannot/should not lump these two fears in the same category.
Just as.. Forgiveness, for example..
When someone 'accidentally'. Or 'unconsciously' or out of ignorance, offends you in some way vs.
Intentionally and with purpose; a knowing..
We cannot and should not lump 'forgiving' in the same category.
I'll be thinking on this...

'Cuz with fear.. We have:
Legitimate/valid, very real fears vs.
Imagined/exaggerated..
Vs irrational/phobias..
Big, medium, small..
We cannot treat them or talk about them as if they are all the same..they are not.
