Fear is a killer...for a few different
reasons.
Getting over your fear of pain is a
BIG part of making it through a conflict
that is going to cause some pain.
But fear CAN mess you up in other ways,
too.
You may have heard in the news that
Dappy, former singer for N-Dubz, SLAPPED
the crap out of a fan a few weeks back.
The CCTV of the incident is pretty
damning. The guy was off to the side
of Dappy, a few big bruisers presumably
belonging to the singer standing around,
and all the sudden Dappy just reaches out
and WHOLLOPS the dude in the face.
His defense? "I was scared that I was
gonna get stabbed."
Now, to his credit, this is not entirely
unreasonable...he's been stabbed a few
times before, and the guy he slapped HAD
been calling him out a few times across
the evening.
But still. That fear, that driving fear
of a non-existent knife blade, put Dappy
in court and ended up with him paying
the dude some eight hundred quid as an
enforced apology.
Not because Dappy was afraid to get into
a fight -- clearly --but because he was
afraid that if he DIDN'T strike first,
he would get stuck.
He needs to heed the words of Miyamoto
Musashi: "Regardless of combat
circumstances, you must always remain calm``.
