Question
February 16, 2002 - 11:55 AM

I wondered what everyone fears the most in life? I mean i was thinking tonight and some of my biggest fears have already came true. Now does that mean i get to live life with less fear then most people? Or does that just mean I will encounter larger fears then most because i have already faced some things I feared?

I'm not sure what I fear the most, one that I have but I know I have conntrol over is that I'll live life and have regrets. I don't want to get to the end of my life and not feel I've not done everything.
I agree with lucid when it comes to your life experiences, as a wise man Jace once said, well something along these lines, "life is just a series of experiences so have as many as you can and make them as interesting as you can, that way when you tell stories to your grandkids, they'll be more interested and like you more"
(Though I can't vouch for the fear involving monkeys in my fridge)

Damn you torin (tosswinkel)...stealing my stuff
Fear...screw fear...Do anything
...Although in a movie i saw it said something about fear...stops you from doing stupid things....and i guess that is true
But i like to do things...try new things...live life...go on the scary rides...etc.
Everything is an experiance...which is what shapes who a person is...so either way is good (you might have to think about what i mean).

Twenty years from now
You will be more disappointed
by the things you didnt do more than the things you did
So throw off the bowlines
Sail away from the safe harbour
Catch the trade winds in ur sail
Explore..

I think it just means you have more life experiences to shape you as a person. generally that is a good thing. as long as there was no trauma.
if your confused about what to be afraid of, you could always pick some things at random.
mmm....well I am realy scared of well dressed monkeys dancing on my fridge.
then you'll have the fear thing all set up, and it's not likely you'll ever have to encounter the fearsome event......
there is a chance though...
because there are monekys out there...
and they are slowly learning to make clothes...
and one day...
they will tailor their own suits...
and your fridge....
might just be the dancefloor they've been searching for...

I fear the continuance of past and present, mishandling, handling of all vectorial forces that surround us.

Fear of being accepted.

That used to be my biggest fear. Living up to daddy's expectations, etc. But I'm mostly past that.
Actually my biggest fear is to not feel. I always want to feel, I always want to have a spark, "the lights are on upstairs" kind a thing. I never want to be one of those people who go through everyday on auto pilot, they just do and they never think or feel.
The other big fear of mine is ending up with psychological roadblocks/barriers. It is where a person just won't go or can't go, it makes a person unable to see a better way around their actions, it makes a person unable to move past a point. My father is the example in my life, in that in difficult times it is like he becomes blind or deaf, and he continues to play out some worn out emotional pattern or defense mechanism. And I never want to get stuck like that, I always want to be able to see a different view or a different way.
In getting past fear I think that a person needs to face those hard times, stand on the edge and hope that you come back. Most humans make it through the hard times, but still so many end up those roadblocks/barriers in their minds, but you can always get through that too. It is survival of the fittest. Either you will get stronger or you will break. Your only other option is to hide in fear your whole life, and never do anything worthwhile, never have any real experiences. Then you turn into one of those people going around on auto pilot, never really thinking, never really feeling, never really living. Fear is there to push you to be a better, stronger, smarter, livelier you. And if you are able to face you fear, your satisfaction from being the champion of yourself and your life will bring the greatest renewed vigor and passion for life that a person should lead it with.
Here is a quote from Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts.
Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms;
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause.
Who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at worst, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat."

yup...
same here,
always wanted to be like my dad.
but the turn in my life came, when i had to choose my carrer.
my dad is a charted accountant and i was more into science.
not into commerce.
so... chose to become an engineer.
things changed after that.
but delila, some how, to me you sound a bit tooo attached and sentimental about it.
being like your dad.
believe me..
its best to be a different person insted of coping.
be yourself.
