Some Phobias

My grandmother disliked snakes. If she ever saw them on TV, it was the same reaction of fear and disagreement. I know people who hates worm and react those ways you can never imagine: These are their bigger fears.

I have hear the ostrich hides her face on the ground. I have seen cartoon doing that, but I haven´t seen them in real life (I need to watch a trustworthy video where they hide and run, by way). The truth is they fight and defend themselves (When threatened, ostriches run away, but they can cause serious injury and death with kicks from their powerful legs. Their legs can only kick forward.Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in sand. This myth likely began with Pliny the Elder (AD 23–79), who wrote that ostriches "imagine, when they have thrust their head and neck into a bush, that the whole of their body is concealed." This may have been a misunderstanding of their sticking their heads in the sand to swallow sand and pebbles, or, as National Geographic Society suggests, of the defensive behavior of lying low, so that they may appear from a distance to have their head buried.).

What are you afraid of? (Don´t tell me! You´re being watched)

I know what many people are afraid of. Horror movies are nothing compared to those things people hide (or think could be hidden) while research is being done on the net each person surfs while runs away form their Phobias.

Recently I went to hospitals where I saw a man who was afraid at seeing transfusion needles. I knew I could feel dismayed at being present in an operating theatre, looking at people´s bleeding, when their flesh is being cut; but I´m new at those who forget where they received the injection of a needle few hours before (or yesterday): This is the same reaction “an ostrich” shows to hid their inmost fears...

Yes! This is not a condition, but an emotional reaction, just like closing the eyes when seeing a dangerous thing too close to our eyes: We shut the mind! (to “feel” we´ve run from the danger).

At risk or horrors, people cry or scream. Some show their tears, they get red or use their fits. How knows all those fears?

There was a nice thin young girl I knew she was terrified or angry. Her skin changed like the chicken skin. I guess it was something like those animals changed their color as well as their mood: They won´t run, but it was a “warn”, their alert alarm (just like those horses you see they moved their ears when they felt someone is molesting and, if you don´t stop it, they can bite or hit you).

Not too many people can make a “cone” using their tongue. That´s something deep in the mind´s wirings that makes you to be like that, to reach one way or another.

Who knows you well? (God does) but I´m sure there are some fears no research has been done: How vulnerable we are when we try to hide and run from those truths we think we lie.

One of my grannies used to call us when she felt she was about to die. She did that too many times, that I thought she was “eternal”, but she died at her 90´s. Sometime before, I spent some time with her, reading the Bible at midnight, but I felt I missed her a lot, because I was used to looking at her clear eyes and, that time, she was in a bed, closed eyed, while I was unsure she would listen: There wasn´t a real way I knew we interacted that time.

I´m happy that, my other grandmother, held my hand when she was taken to the hospital... She hated snakes, but she loved people as much as she could give from her simple life.
