What is your biggest fear?

As I get older, I see life very differently than I used to. How about you?

Given that I'm not immortal it would be dieing before I have sorted some stuff out

Level 8

Right now, it's watching my mother deteriorate, lack of money, poor health, and being alone. Kind of all overwhelming me at the moment.

Level 7

The propagation and growth of the cruel, totalitarian, oppressive, theocratic political ideology based on the teachings and example of "the prophet". It is not exclusively the extremism, but is the mainstream ideology, which is the threat.

Level 7

Lack of money. Being alone and unable to afford the basics.

Level 9

stroke! I've seen it happen to too many friends and it's horrible! Everything else is secondary.

I fear that the remainder of my life (40-50 more years, give or take) I will be unloved.

I really don't like spiders but I found out from a documentary that I watched that that's hard-wired into our little brains

God & country

Level 9

None of the above.

And just what are you doing wearing the socialist revolutionary hero Che Guevara's picture & logo on that Tee shirt? Looks great. Are you wisely converting? LOL.

@Countrywoman
I thought it was my Level 8 Agnostic shirt.

Losing my freedom. I would rather be dead than let someone else's will supercede mine when it comes to my life.

I'm terrified of the fact that one day I'll just be gone

Level 7

I prefer to not die. I would also add that I'm surprised at the low votes for "death." Seems to me all us nonbelievers would be scared to death of death.

Level 8

Always thought that growing old was going to be a peaceful time to ponder things, think about stuff and write memories..... I was completely clueless about pain, sickness, not having energy to do anything and at times to get a bit sad and depressed because things are not the way I thought they would be. At the end, beats the alternative anyway....

Speaking of alternatives: Alternative medicine or Holistic practitioners. Understanding how old age affects us and doing something benign and non invasive about it. It's a fun study and it feels awfully good to be able to kick ass at this senior age.

Level 7

I'm starting life over again and I'm finding it hard even with a degree in cybersecurity to get a job at 57, cancer survivor, and twin boys that are terminally ill. I have never been this broke in my life, as a matter of fact I've always been fairly well-off. So I guess I really don't like the prospect of me being broke!

((((HUGS))))

The fact that this crazy ride is going to end sometime discusts the hell out of me.

Lately I am anxious about money. Health problems forced me to stop working before full retirement. Alone and poor is not a pretty picture.

Level 8

I say lack of money, money buys everything.

My children dying before me.

Same here. That would be the worst for me.

@Condor5 I occasionally have nightmares of being in an car wreck, and being trapped listening to my children screaming and being unable to help. It's horrible.

@MrBeelzeebubbles fortunately, I rarely have dreams I remember, and none that terrible. But, I think dreams often do reflect our deepest fears. I've had a few wherein one or the other of my dogs was either killed, or disappeared in a busy city. I don't think I could handle anything similar involving my daughter.
