I know I,m irresistible to women bug I have chosen to ignore it due to my modesty and good breeding .

@Donotbelieve I thank you and have chosen to make an exception in your case !!
You lucky girl !!! or should they be question marks ?

@Donotbelieve Ithink you realise that wasn't what I was questioning .

@Donotbelieve LMAO

@irascible I know I come from the UK . I was born and bred here .... A common expression .

At just turned 70 I get more tired than I used to be and I ignore it and push through and then find myself with aches and pains that spoil my evenings viewing time tryign to get comfortable ..doh I'll never learn!

We're all doomed.
On the bright side, once we die, that's it.

None I love truth and actively seek it it's my highest purpose.

The threat of nuclear annihilation!

The truth that I hold myself back daily. Especially when I'm depressed. It makes it easy to come up with reasons not to do something. So the harsh truth of my life is that I would probably be far more successful and not in nearly as bad of shape if I'd stop holding myself back.

I'm sorry, that's no doubt a difficult situation to be in. Baby steps are always good, so the fact that you do recognize there is an issue can be very significant in finding help and making the changes in your life that you'd like to see.

@Mea Yes. I am definitely working hard on pushing past that hard truth. But I am my own worst enemy. A nemesis of myself, if you will. 😉

How about you Mea?

@ReBrew2115, I often worry about the direction humanity is going as awhole--especially in concerns to the environment. We're destroying everything and I wonder how much more we can destroy before we cause a worldwide disaster and everyone faces the threats of starvation, disease, pollution, etc. And being a college kid, I stress out about money a lot because I'm paying for everything entirely by myself without student loans and a lot of the time I barley squeak by as far as paying for tuition, books, food, and housing goes.

@Mea Understandable. Those are all reasonable things to be afraid of. I would be if I were in the same position. I've always dealt with a fear of the end of the world but it didn't really get driven home for me until I saw "Interstellar" which depicted the outcome of severe climate change very accurately. It was disturbing to me and even more disturbing was the bleak outlook for life on the planet. But... I like to think that science will find a way. That people will change. And hopefully, it won't be too late.

That's one of my favorite movies!

@Mea I love Christopher Nolan in general, but I thought Interstellar was one of his best.

Why would I ignore them?

@LeighShelton, out of fear or comfort? I agree that ignoring anything for too long can cause problems, but always fretting over something, especially something you may not be able to control, can be draining.

I don't fret or worry about things I can't control as it only hurts me and helps nobody. it won't go away sticking your head in the sand either.

That I have well passed my prime, I am on a downhill run.
I am not scared of death, but for now I will keep doing stuff.

6

That my pay from this month has little or no chance of stretching to the next one

5

That the future has a place for people like me. We lower-middle-class are almost obsolete.

I'm pretty certain they will kill us off first

We probably actually NEED “the rich” here in the USA - they at least keep us free of being dominated by some Islamo rich KOOKS!

I’ll take the devil I DO know!

Death and taxes.

None!

I would like to ignore an isolating handicap combined with a relationship disorder.

Such a broad question. I haven't been able to ignore bigots and haters - they make me cringe. I try to ignore Trumpty Dumpty when he is speaking but eventually hear the stupid idea or thing he said on the next news program.

Life not having inherent meaning (Of course we find our own meaning). I'm still recovering from religious indoctrination so that truth is still hard to realize.

That ignorance is bliss in a world of delusional cosmologies.

Define TRUTH? Truth is very subjective it may differ from another-there is no THE truth.
Ones 'truth' is based upon perception which is depending on two things;
The element of choice
Past Experiences.
Take for example 'The Maltese Cross' a warrior or a religious person may only see the cross itself, however a gardener or a creative thinker will not see the cross but the spaces between its arms and only see stylized rose petals.

The 'herd' also only see the cross
THe 'Outsider' sees the rose petals
Then again The Outsider sees too deep and thinks too much. Wilson, Colin The Outsider.

We shape our truths or REALITY with every thought and choice (also accepting the consequences of that choice) we take.

I'm interested in hearing individuals' truths. This question is in regards to the same. Your truth is the only aplicable truth you can answer for.

I am getting older and slower.

That death is probably closer than I like to think.

No one has any idea what LOST was about.
