Feeling Scared
-by Sarah Leung

What is the one thing that makes you freak out? Crawly-creatures, dark or vegetables? Hey, no kidding! Some people are really scared of fruits and vegetables. There is one common answer: loneliness.

Loneliness happens to everyone, regardless if you are status or age. So what if you are married, you feel lonely too when your wife is out shopping with tai-tais and your precious children are ready for boarding school. One current trend, business outsourcing, resulted in separation of family members. They are located at different parts all over the world.

In addition, the older you get, the more aloof you will be because your once-young kids starts his family and your old partner is stuck on you. That*s why there is an increased number of elder suffering from depression.

But there*s nothing to fear! Scientifically, fears, sad and etc are just normal emotions that we use to express yourself. It*s because you are living thing therefore you have emotions. So next time you feel this way, tell yourself it*s alright, at least you know you*re still alive.
