Fear or Respect

Sounds just like another noun but fear can do wonders if applied wisely and with precision. Fear has showed us its incredible power throughout history. People fear more than they respect. Logically speaking, how many of us pray for the respect of god? Most of them pray for the fear of god superiority rather respect of His holiness. There's a quote from a movie I watched before than states that there are more temples for Lord Shiva than for Lord Brahma. For those who are not very sure about Hinduism and its god, Lord Shiva is Lord of Destruction whereby Lord Brahma is Lord of Creation. People prays more to Lord Shiva for the fear of His power rather than the respect of Lord Brahma for His greatness. Above all, everyone on earth has fear for a common thing. Death. If you don't fear death, then there is three reasons for that. Either you are God or Devil or out of your mind. If you don't have a halo or glow of light behind of your head, then you're not God. If you don't have horns and pointy tail, then you're not Devil. If you're not God or Devil, then you must be out of your mind. There are some people who perform better with the knowing of death looming close by. Numerous time history has proved it. Some people just crash and burn with fear of death but that just pave the way for a better person. Either way the fear of death accomplishes its mission, for the betterment of others. Like a wise man said before, "Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other." There are people who should get missed calls from The Reaper for those people are getting addicted to something very destructive to them and others. Power. Its nothing personal. Just a way of living. Being good and expecting others to do the same thing isn't the saneness thing to do. The world doesn't work that way. Here in this world, you be good and you'll be gone, as in dead. People WILL eat you alive, not literally though in some place they literally do eat you alive. Being a hypocrite may sound disgusting or even disturbing for some but being one in a way is the wisest thing to do. It's all about the survival of the fittest. Hypocrite I meant is not the deception of others or lie but... It's a little hard to explain in words but try putting it this way. Hypocrite in a sense of playing your cards wisely. Be good to those who done, does and will do good to you, be neutral to those who done, does and will do nothing good nor bad to you and be invisible to those who done, does and will do bad to you. Simple rule. People may call you hypocrite but then again, its all about the survival of the fittest since everyone fears death and has done, does and will do anything just to live one more day. I know cause I would.
