Well, I am strictly speaking about this moment. And subconsciously or not, I don't sense it in me atm. So no fear
No, sometimes I experience fear as well. But not now, so now I can honestly say I do not fear anything. Besides, I have nothing to fear from God.
stress will eat your whole body. starting from the internal organs out. and not in a pleasant way. and yet knowing that, most people perpetuate a culture that demands it, on the off chance they'll get something out of it. how many do, i don't know. but i do know a lot people have what are to me, very strange concepts of gain.
Have you ever seen the movie: Monsters, Inc. That's why I have my bed on the floor, and my closet door nailed shut. Veggie Dino's are cool. You can even ride them. .................. I fear deep water (where I can't see the bottom). There are things down there big enough to eat me, and there ain't no tree to scurry up when they come around.
I fear that many of the wild animals such as Rhinos, Elephants and others will be gone sooner rather than later. Too many people, prices on everything including animal parts for voodoo-type bullshit and the hubris of eminent domain (manifest destiny?) over all creatures including most humans. This is the price "we" seem to be accepting. BUY MORE. BUY MORE NOW.
There are things that concern me but I can't think of anything that I'm really afraid of off the top of my head. I guess when I'm way up above the power lines in a boom that is stretched all the way to the side....my biggest fear is riding that thing to the ground. It's almost happened a few times. Even the slightest irregular sound or movement gets my attention immediately.
i'm scared of aliens. and amputees. they creep me out. i know it's horrible, but it really scares me.
I feel the same right now too I do sometimes have fears, but it depends how chilled or stressed I am I guess.
human anger. yours. mine. someone else's. all the same. whatever we might or might not be armed with. that's all the same too. i don't like human conflict. i like stories where the challanges to be overcome are something else. things that involve engineering and nature and creating good ways for them to get along with each other. i've always worried as much that i might harm someone else as they might harm me. if they harmed or killed me, well i'd just be harmed or dead. but if i harmed them, well to me, that would always be really really embarassing. and that's almost scarrier then anything that might be done to me, short of a situation where i would have to live in extreme fear of other humans every day. that's almost, i think, the only thing that could be worse. being accused and punished for something i didn't do, but thought about or might have in a different situation, that's something i fear too. those pretty much cover it. i fear the political right, because they are the most likely to send people, en mass, into that having to fear everyday situation, simply for being honest with themselves, when being honest with themselves doesn't agree with how they want to pretend the world to be. i mean they've done this before. over and over again. especially whenever they've had the greatest popular support. (hitler and the nazi's weren't a one off. it's happened thousands of times before that, and several dozen times at least since) they always claim its religion or ideology, but really, they just want to be able to get away with hurting people. with their being some group the can label and isolate to gain popular support to get away with causing as much suffering and harm as they can. (today its the islamists they single out, and i'm not an islamist, but that doesn't make me feel safe. and they're starting to target gays, (again, when have they not, dispite so many of the being gay themselves), because gender benders have started to gain some popularity and especially legal rights, and i'm not sexually gay, however androginous i may be socially, and the fact that i'm not doesn't make me feel safe either) i'm sorry. yes i know there are well meaning people who are conservatively motivated. but when it comes down to where, well what is being called conservative now, has the massively dominant popular support, then it becomes that kind of sadism. and not the sexually gratifying kind either. they use aggressiveness as a substitute for sex, which they call bad, and want everyone else to do that same. and those who don't want to be the same. that is who they single out. and people aren't made to be all the same. and while we may all lie to ourselves a little some of the time. some of us just aren't that good at it. especially when it comes to things we think matter.
I can understand that fear. Although i am not afraid of heights, when up real high on a ladder or scissor lift or even an amusement ride..although i feel confident everything will be safe, still an unnerving feeling.
themnax, I like what you wrote, although I do not fear anger...It is just a real of an emotion as any emotions are...it is what people do with their anger that can make it either destructive or constructive........ Destructive is bad, and i fear that also........ I could not live with myself for ever really hurting someone purposely, although at times, i may wish someone was dead for the hurt they cause me...and not for no reason ever....but I would never do anything to make that happen...I will go do something else to work the anger out......and it is usually quietly....I will write it out, paint it out....or something like that..... if someone is yelling at me...I tend to trust that as I know the feelings behind it are real.....and they are not just trying to manipulate me.....if they hit me....then it is over, though. If they go punch a pillow or something over me....that is fine....but actually physically hurting someone or something...no.....
emotions are a part of life, for everything with a cerebral cortex and spinal column. but that's doesn't mean i have to trust mine, or anyone else's. and, i'm sorry, but i just don't. its alright to snuggle once in a while, and to like people, but i could completely live without the rest of it. (and i've always been the happiest doing so) i'm not saying i don't ever GET angry, but i sure don't enjoy it and i sure don't trust it. and i sure see nothing positive in making a world be where it gives more people more reasons to be angry instead of less. and people do this because they've been sold that they get more out it and what they've been sold is a lie.
