A couple days ago I checked out a book. *gasp* I don't usually read voluntarily.

The book is:
http://carterlibrary.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/fear.jpg

Thinking of this I came to questions I hope to later find out answers to ('bout as big as Harry Potter: Goblet'o Fire).

Are our lives ruled by Fear?
Is a little Fear healthy?
Does religion constantly insight fear to control a populus?
Do any ruling powers do the same?
How much Fear does it take till breaking point (through overexertion or underexertion) and you choose 'Fight' over 'Flight'?

Which is more Fearful:

Losing Social-Status, or Basic Needs?
Premature burial or Hold-on to life?
Burning or Freezing?
Impalement or Amputation?

=_= <- tired

All yes.

Depends on the person. As do:

Losing Social-Status, or Basic Needs?
Premature burial or Hold-on to life?
Burning or Freezing?
Impalement or Amputation?

fear is a needed illsuion, without fear, we will not steer clear of the dangerous and stupid things in life.

There are many things in life that are dangerous. Or that you can fear.

Death is not the only thing you can fear.

Yea, that is one basic thing to fear.

What's hold-on to life?

Same question as the previous one.


like not letting you die. postmature death?

was guessing all of the first bundle was yes. now,

how do you feel about constantly fearing something?
has ignorance played a good part in your cognitive mind?
why is displeasure an avoidance? all life is is for pleasures.

Agreed. We are all afraid of the unknown. Which leads to curiosity. Which leads to discovery.

Exactly! or in some cases it looks like this:
Fear leads to Paranoia. Paranoia leads anger. Anger leads to destruction. And destruction leads to pain.

I look at your post for laughs.

Are our lives ruled by Fear?


Yes, the biggest fear producers are Republicans and Religion.

Is a little Fear healthy?


Hmm, I can't think of a reasonable answer so I'm not exactly sure at the moment.

Does religion constantly insight fear to control a populus?

Yes, this is exactly why I fight any religion.
