    I dont. I look down from height and get scared in my dream. So I cannot jump.
     
  2. I think my biggest fears involve just what other people think of me.

    There is nothing to face. The mind is deceptive. A lot of times my mind says "i'm afraid" but when i take a closer look the actual feeling of fear isn't even there. Its more like a little anxiety or nervousness. When fear is really present, that's when i really need to listen to it. Its warning me of something. Perhaps trying to protect me.

    A lot of quotes about fear seems to be about making fear the enemy. Like it needs to be conquered or fought against. Which is of course done out of fear of fear. Which is stupid.

    That's the spirit! There no such thing. There is only organism vs stress.

  14. You may not like him, but everyone sure does seem to like his integrity. Yeah, he's wrong about everything and as soon as he comes to power everything will become Bernie's Plantation and we'll be the slaves, but look, even the slaves had their faithful fun. Some of them anyway.

    The point I'm trying to make is that that seems unlikely to me, and if we don't like the man, we can always throw him out of office.
     
  15. Not that I dislike Joe Biden. He shouldn't be made to feel like a freak, necessarily, for getting a little too close for comfort. He's amiable.
     
  16. No. It's time to take things seriously and improve the American way of life. And, thanks to friends, I can't complain. Vote Trump.

    I mean, I like the Donald. From Hitler we learned you can't treat people like scum, and I hope some of you Democrats really learned that lesson.
     
  17. The mere suggestion that the wall will be used to stop the zombie hoards from Mexico before we destroy them all in the future is patently absurd.
     
  18. That's a good point, total darkness.

    It's kind of a complex subject. We are afraid to fear. But for good reason. An afterlife or not, it's important to hold onto a good thing. It's a question of survival vs. madness. Do all of our thoughts betray us to our macabre fate?

    That sounds like a line from Shakespeare.

    I had the same thing neon, I used to worry about what people thought about me all the time. Somehow I managed to get off that boat, and now I don't think about that anymore. I certainly feel much better as a result.
