Fear is one of the human emotions that sometimes prevents humans from succeeding. The other acceptable definition of fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the proximity of danger or the expectation of pain. The main character of the novel titled Life of Pi written by Yann Martel is Pi who faces many problems in his journey from India to Canada. One of the problems is living alone for a while on the lifeboat in the middle of the ocean with a Bengal tiger. You can learn to face fear like Pi faces the tiger he called Richard Parker. Pi faces his fears, takes concrete measures, perseveres and recognizes his fears. The most dangerous fear Pi deals with is Richard Parker who has no mercy on his victims. Pi knows he is supposed to look after Richard Parker on a small damaged lifeboat. He can't escape his fears, so he sets a boundary between himself and Richard Parker. Pi says: "I began to think seriously about how I would deal with Richard Parker. This tolerance on his part on hot, cloudless days, that's what it was and not simple laziness, was not good enough. I couldn't always. I needed access safe to the locker and the top of the tarp, regardless of the time of day or the weather and regardless of his mood to come with force. It was time to impose myself and carve out a territory,” (Martel, 224). If one runs away from personal fears, the person will not achieve the goals for which Pi is no different. Despair had the most destructive effect on Pi which actually prevented him from trying to save him. The only factor that forces desperation to decrease is the adoption of concrete measures. Pi could survive 227 days on the lifeboat with faith. He reminds himself that everything in this world is a creature of God. He says, “Despair was a heavy darkness that would not let the light in or out. It was a hell beyond expression. I thank God that it always passed. A bank of fish appeared around the net or a knot cried out to be re-tied. Or I thought of my family, of how they had been spared this terrible agony. The darkness would stir and finally go, and God would remain, a bright spot in your heart.
