At this point in my life, I don't have many responsibilities outside of the things I easily control (do my homework, brush my teeth). There's not much I fear. I used to fear public speaking. It was horrible, and I would skip days in high school because of that. But I got through that and I can give a speech in front of a huge crowd now if I had to (and I've had to more than once). Parents say that their biggest fear is usually leaving behind their kids when they need them most, but I don't have that. What I have is a younger brother who is going to Afghanistan soon. He is my only brother, my only sibling, and we've had too many quarrels over the years, as many brothers do, for our relationship to be considered completed. The truth is, I like him a lot. He's a good person, and we share a lot of interests. And in a lot of ways, I admire him, though he is younger than me. I think he's cool and I think he could be my best friend, my closest confidant, the person who will always be there for me, just like I will be there for him. And there is a fear in me that in an instant, every potential great thing between us, and just for him alone, his future, could be over. Or, he could be seriously injured. I fear that he could face the worst kind of pain and torture and loneliness and there wouldn't be anything to do except be here and do a mundane daily routine. |

Nothing, really.
My dream death would be to be eaten by bears or sharks. Recycled through nature. In fact, I think that when it's time, I'm going to walk into the woods with a bucket of gravy, pour it over my head and let the bears or cougars eat me. To finalize life through a searing white heat of having your flesh rend from your body by some large, carnivorous animal...awesome. You can take your old, wrinkled, ineffective bodies dying a slow death in a hospital bed or nursing home and shove 'em up your ass. I'm going out the way nature intended. |

Anyone posting on this board has little chance of dying from any of those things unless you are severely allergic to Bees and I almost asked. Being afraid of drowning, or dying in a fire is understandable. It happens. My GF is scared to death of things she has no reason to legitimately fear. Snakes would be a great example. The death rate of snakebite in the US has to be about as common, or less than, as winning the lottery. However people die from hypothermia more often than snakebite. How many people are scared of freezing to death? (Right now may be the wrong time to ask that question) |
I'm scared people will stop respecting and admiring me around here.

That's why horror movies and movies about dinosaurs eating people, sharks eating people, birds killing people, etc. have been so popular over the last century. With that said, it's sad to read about children that have died after being stung by a bee and/or spider, or killed by ants, etc. Sharks usually kill a few dozen people worldwide (and a few dozen more go unreported), so it's not out of the question that you could be out surfing one day and get eaten. |

I don't fear cancer, I don't fear leaving my kids behind through death(even though I would hate it). What I do fear, is something horrific happening to my children and there won't be anything I can do about it, like a person taking them from me, an accident taking their lives. That is what I fear most in life.
God can allow anything to happen to me, but please have mercy on my children and let them lead a safe and happy life. |
