I have a simple question. What's your greatest fear? What scares you most?
Terrorism? War? Atrocious crime? Mass violence? Natural disasters? Environmental destruction? Autocratic government? Loss of freedom? Religious or racial persecution? Loss of good health? Food insecurity? or Your father?
oh and maybe things like being buried alive or being tortured while being kept alive and such things, just hate them :P
ohw ohw, and to be tied up and have spiders walk all over me until I die, I just HATE spiders and can't stand the thought of them crawling over me -_-;;
actually, I think humans don't have a greatest fear, just some things we think of more often, usually things that made a great impact on us. In the end, fear is something from inside the brain after all :3
Rori-chan, you must have read Michael Crichton's "State of Fear." :-)
For me... my biggest short-term fear is to lose my job. Scary!
In the long term, my fear is that we're all losing freedom. We are being controlled and managed more and more. The government is trying to sneak into eveyone's life. Wire-tapping laws, Patriot Act, etc., etc...
I hate questions like this.
I guess some folks are reading everyone's answers, reinforcing their fears.
I would say... who cares? You know what fears the most, and that's enough. I would much respect those asking more meaningful questions that would lead us to something constructive to share with.
Probably fear of something terrible happening to a loved one. Not even their death, but like my sisters getting raped or something like that. The thought of something like this makes me feel sick.

I always liked what Theodore Roosevelt said; "Speak
softly,carry a big stick, you will go far."
It's actually an African proverb and he forget to
include the "you will go far" part, but I always
do.
As far as fear goes. I'm petrified of cockroaches,
they scare the hell out of me. That's about it.
