What is your biggest fear?
My biggest fear since I stopped believing in hell is that when I die I'm gonna be fully aware of the darkness and isolation instead of it being like going to sleep.

I have a slightly irrational fear of fire. I'm a big furball and I always imagine going up like a match when I'm around fire I don't have control of.

It used to be the boogeyman in the closet, till the monster under my bed came and chased him away. Seriously though, it's dying a long slow painful death, like from cancer or a stroke. I watched my grandmother, grandfather, great grandmother and mother go that way. Fortunately I've had a heart attack and will probably go quickly.

My biggest fer lately is that Trump and Pence will destroy the country economically and destroy those part of the government which were formerly working pretty well, before we can get them out of office.

@David1955 If you look at how countries have goen from great wealth and into decline throughout history, you woudl have to conclude that the U.S. is on the decline. You might have to look at ancient Rome, the Dutch, The English and Spain and how empires grew and declined and the evolution of the economies to discern a pattern, but generally right before a country goes into decdline they outsource theri manufacturing and move to more of a service oriented economy, and end up with a shrinking middle class, which is/was actually the consumer base which drives the eonomy. After a whiel of this a tipping oint is reached and the economy crashes. There is also another pattern in many ancient civilizations where they create a large city and use uip all the natural resources in the surrounding area, which leads to an economic collapse. The U.S. is currently using a colonial approach to having used up natural resources, and taking them from other countries, much like England did (although with different resources) before WWII. Colonialism is expensive and unsustainable over time. A very few peopel will get very rich,but in the end the house of cards will fall.
It use to be being the very real likelyhood of being shot by north Vietnamese now it's the only slightly less likely chance of sitting in a class room or concert or gathering of any kind and some asshole "law abiding" gun owner walking down the hall/street with an ar-15.
Because of the former I avoid the later.

Spiders, heights, and living life without anyone I can truly rely on or trust. Oh and the dying alone thing, but others have said that.

My biggest fear is no longer being able to participate in a meaningful way. When that is no longer possible, I will take a walk on the ice.

Dying painfully, open spaces and hights and fear itself as I suffer panic/anxiety attacks.
