Mostly fear.
Not much loathing.
I think about fear a lot. I speak with fearful people almost every day.
Every person has the right to be who they are without fear.
Sadly we live in a society that encourages us to live in fear.
“…how is it possible to be living in the safest time in human history, yet at the exact same time to be so scared?”

I have been slammed, on occasion, for not being fearful. Having found that fear doesn’t keep bad things from happening, I have differed with my critics.

You’re so right. Fear does not prevent bad things but it does tend to prevent adventure. lol

I do not think I live in fear. There have been (and are) things that I’ve feared about. It’s not good for me to live my life with that in the front of my mind, so I try to keep it in the back. I don’t want to focus on fear. It’s a bad scene. Focus on the things you can control.

Maybe I’m delusional. The things I worry about are close at hand.

I may be delusional too. I’ve been accused of being a delusional optimist. lol

There are things I fear. The dentist has been a big one. I seem to be getting better about going though.

With much to fear this summer, I’ve tried to maintain a positivity that would overcome adversity. It would seem to me that fear simply makes problems worse, while suppressing fear to a manageable level can allow for creative solutions. After all, ‘we really have nothing to fear but fear itself!’

What that saying? “ Fear is the mind killer.”

I haven’t heard that one — I like it!

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

It’s either fear and loathing or the happy pills when the tantrums come. We have to justify our misery as an inevitable condition, call it “pride.” It makes us act against our own self-interests, or it makes us see our own chains that we think we must have to family, friends, work and society as a whole. Or both in the unluckiest of people.

Yes, we all carry our misery in our own ways.
