Worst Fear
Some fears should be faced. Perhaps you are scared of being stuck in an elevator. You need to face that fear. But some things can't be faced, and perhaps the shouldn't be.
My all time worst fear is about death. Honestly, I have no problem with flicking out of existence. I have no real problem with burning in hell either - although perhaps the previous would be preferable. I'm not too hot on heaven, although no sex for eternity would be bearable. Reincarnation would be ideal, but I'm in a slightly synical mood right now. But what I am scared of is nothing, and being consious of nothing.
Most people have heard of sensory depravation tanks. You're placed in a dark box, full of water. No feeling, no light, no sound - just nothing. Its enough to drive someone crazy after a while. Thats what I'm scared of happening after death, except that you don't even have a body. Just a kind of emptiness that I would float around in forever.
Of course, a close second is waking up in the damn coffin, which is why I plan to request a cremation. Not that I think I actually could wake up - its just a really unpleasant thought. I'm really uncomfortable with closed spaces like that.
So, what do you think about fear in general? Are you scared of something happening after death? Do you think you can face that fear?
