Before I comment folks it is important to let you know that in Myers
briggs terms I am an "ENFP" Ie
I talk before I think
I operate from feeling not logic
I operate from my intuition not the hear and now
I am a procrastinator

Why am I saying this ? Because -- I am not sure /
When we talk about fear it is as if it has a life of its own, independent
of the individual and that it almost unnatural to fear. I think it is
unnatural to create fear in others but not unnnatural to have fear.
Part of me says that for me to be truly empowered then it does not matter
what my boss, my friends etc. are doing.Empowerement is related to the
self and independent of others, their power and their feelings.
