You don't have any control over how what you want to say or convey the other person will be received. What if they ridicule, scorn, or reject your sentiments?<BR/><BR/>Sadly, the fear of receiving any of those reactions keep us from taking the chance, and we possibly miss out on the other potential reactions of the receiver: acceptance, reciprocity, gratitude, and pleasure.<BR/><BR/>There is a reason God tells us so many times in the Bible to "Fear Not".
