Fear

Living In hiding all her life, Repunzel never realized her true potential as a princess.  She was terrified of what she didn’t know, like many of us often are.  Sometimes we dream of seeing that of which we are afraid, but, I mean, we are afraid to.  And, even though this might be a fairy tale, it is still true for all of us.  We can never experience everything alone or we might not make it. There are bad things out there but with the help of somebody else to give you a nudge in the right direction, you can live a life worth dying for.

I want to go skydiving someday,  I want to ride a motorcycle, I want to bungee jump from a bridge, unfortunately  that probably won't happen.  I will admit, I would be terrified of jumping off a bridge, but of course I still would like to try.  If somebody had never been there to convince me to live, I would most likely be dead.  Fear rules the life of the friendless, because as the saying says, a friend will advise you not to do something idiotic, like jump off a plane, but a best friend will be the one to push you off. 

Repunzel is terrified of leaving her  tower, her fear of the world that lies beyond ruling her life (not to mention her mothers horrid wrath if she were to leave).  But when a friend comes along to help her, she finds out the joy of conquering her fears.   She is pushed to do something that she feels is right and acts on her better knowledge.  If Flynn hadn't come along she would have grow up fearing the outside, and every child needs to go outside and be a kid or I'm not sure they are going to grow up right.  Sometimes a little push in the right direction is all we need to change the world.

Everyone experiences fear, it is a part of daily life.  We are afraid of dying, embarrassment , punishment, hurt, pain, even of being afraid of being afraid.  Friends are necessary for many reasons but that one is one of the main ones.  To help you be the person you were born to be by helping you overcome your fears holding them back.  There are risks and risks are what we must all take if we wish to live our lives the way we know we should.
