What are you afraid of ?

i don't like heights. i can't go near banisters and i can't stand to watch people lean on them, it always makes me think they'll fall off. i also don't like elevators, especially ones that are shaky.

Yeah, i fucking hate CERN , my phobia was pretty much under control 'till the motherfuckers said " Stranglets and Black Holes could be created"

"A free man thinks of death least of all things; and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life."

Isn't that just the opposite of the course usually proscribed toward wisdom? Buddhism is replete with death-centric thinking, but it's not viewed as a negator of life but the source of its mystery.

I think Spinoza saw death as a limitation of a man's freedom because it's not something we want or do voluntarily.

losing sight or hearing. I do have respect for people who cope with their disabilities, I think I would be terrible at coping with such problems.

this too. very very scary

long-term solitude.

(not due to loneliness, but more the fact that whilst alone one has no reference for sanity/rationality, and I'd hate to have gone bat-shit crazy and not even know it.

so actually I guess insanity is what frightens me most.)

also: being eaten by furniture

if they're your soul mate how could they ever be apart from you?

do a lot of people have this thing where,

im not necessarily afraid of being high up, but i almost instinctively try to balance myself or ground myself whenever i see a really high-up view, like im getting vertigo or something.

I have a decent fear of mold, nothing too bad.

when i was young I used to avoid windows, sniper freight

that the world freezes over and everybody remaining kills each other out of boredom

this happens whenever we say "i"

solipsism can get pretty terrifying if you ever let it spiral out of control. it's worth doing once though to use as a point of reference.

solipsism is plausible if you take out the "'s own" in "one's own mind is all that exists," ie: unknow the known. one sewn mind is all that exists.

Just because we're compatible, doesn't mean we're destined to be together.
