Fear is Wack...

Dare! The Adventures of Darius Davidson -One of my self-published comics- is about a kid who gets in an accident that destroys his brain's ability to generate fear responses. as a result, Darius becomes an unwitting amateur hero, adventurer, and all-around alpha male type who is constantly defeating more powerful, better equipped and more experienced enemies. i originally came up with the concept purely as an excuse to draw a little black dude with dreads hitting monsters and super-villains in the head with blunt objects, but it wasn't long until i stumbled onto a basic reality: Fear is Wack.

Fear is one of the primary building materials used to create an invisible jail designed to keep us from roaming the Earth as giants, making the world over in our image like God, our Father, intended. in the comic, Darius in unable to become afraid, and it causes problems for him (the system, after all, is built for people who behave based on fear), but it makes many more things possible for him. when you overcome fear, your actions become harder to predict, and what's more, harder to control. overcoming fear leads to freedom. because you can choose to do what you want. bad people want to do wrong, but good people use that freedom to do right!
if God (or the universe, or whatever) has put something in your heart, do it! surely, you will be confronted by a spirit of fear. but whether it comes from others or from within, be sure that Fear can't stop you unless you let it! after all, Fear is wack.
holla!
