Forums - General - What's Your Biggest Fear?

Spiders and a fear of getting eaten alive...The most unlikely death of being eaten alive just scares me, do you release how much pain you would feel and knowing you could not do anything about it. Think about it.

Funny that you'd bring Donnie Darko up. I've watched that movie 4 times this week. It's amazing!



Well as a traditional fear, I've always feared dying unknown. Knowing that you will die and your life on here has been completely meaningless to anyone else is quite a scary thing. That's quite a scary thought for most humans though as many would love to think they have slight importance in this world or at least to another person in general.


Now as an ideological fear, I fear those or that which has enough power to assert lies, opinions, etc as the whole truth. Essentially those who claim to know the truth really freak me out. It's quite a scary thought knowing that someone could completely make something up, have enough power and reputation to assert it as the truth, and manipulate people thereafter based on this myth or lie. That is something I fear greatly and seek on a daily basis to fight against.

Quite possibly, but I wouldn't limit it to just one thing.  I simply have a problem with those who claim to know the truth when they really don't.  And I fear those that do that and have the power to manipulate others because of it.  So interest groups is another thing I fear.  Extremists or radicals usually fit into that group as well.  Such as people on any political spectrum who quote what they think on a subject matter as the truth and all else must not be true.  Then of course get on national television and do the same thing.

So yes religion does obviously fit into that group but in no way would I ever limit it to just that because there are plenty of other things (especially politics) that do the same thing.

"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Death itself, getting run over by any vehicle, and perhaps not succeeding in life and losing everything I have



   

Cancer for me or my family.



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
