Answer 2

Love the poem...as for me,I never wear Rose Colored Glasses,but DO sing that song in my repertoire! My friends all call me the Maxine of reality.I see and tell it like it is.My family is in constant turmoil and this one won't speak to that one ,etc. I AM Switzerland and refuse to get into their dark sides.My house is sanctuary to all and if wrong sides meet there it's too darned bad,they must respect each other.I believe also that your glass is half full as is mine.Am going through some heavy duty health problems right now but I have faith that everything will be all right.Like one of my Dad's favorite songs,I live on the Sunny Side of the Street!If you smile at yourself in the mirror in the morning it will stick with you all day!

Answer 3

No. There are times when it is wiser to be a bit nervous and act with caution, but fear? No not really. I have dealt with much worse in the past.

ALTHOUGH.. come to think of it, last summer when I was in India, my husband and I were touring about the country. I think I was the only white woman in India at that time because I saw only a few white men in one larger city. I got a lot of looks but since I was with an Indian man, no problems ever.

HOWEVER, one night we were walking about some town, I forget the name of it except that there were wild elephants living around the area. It was dark and the wives were home so the street was full of men, but he and I were looking in shops and generally just enjoying ourselves. Then it was time for Isha, the evening prayer.

We were near the mosque so my husband said he would be back in a few moments and could I please wait in front of the well lit shop we had been in. No sooner had he disappeared into the little alley, than, as happens often in India, the lights failed and the whole place was plunged into pitch darkness.

I had wandered a few doors from the shop to go into another little place and lost all sense of direction. The black was pure ink and all around me were male voices. Finally a few generators went on and there was a weeeee bit of light, but just enough to let me see how alone I was with all these men.

None of them threatened me in any way, it was the Muslim section and they were all doing their thing but I was thousands of miles from home, in a town full of men, my husband was off praying.

I was never in actual danger from any of these men, but my active and "alone" mind was very active anyhow. It felt like forever so I decided to return to our hotel figuring he would know where I went if I was not where he left me. To make this short, I got lost. Every alley, every dark place was a potential source of danger. If not men, the packs of yellow dogs were down in them. I could hear them snarling and fighting over scraps of food. These were NOT friendly dogs you want to wander into.

I was getting quite scared to be honest because I did not speak the language, Malayalam and few of them spoke English. Now I knew he would never find me because I was lost and in this dark city and I can say... I was scared although it was only inside.

I stood there in the middle of the street where there was a little light from the generators and began to wonder who would tell my daughters I had disappeared when suddenly there were lips and warm breath at the back of my neck and I jumped ten feet in the air, my heart absolutely exploding.

Quite a few people turned at my shriek. It was my husband. He just asked people if they had seen a white woman he had nnooooo problem finding me. Suddenly those alleys did not seem so threatening. The nice thing about the black out? In India even holding hands is frowned upon, especially in the Muslim sections. Because it was so dark, he could put his arm over my shoulder as we walked and know we were in privacy of a sort.

So... I guess it depends on the place and if you speak the language.

Answer 4

im afraid of the dark corners and alleys that are in my life.

Answer 5

It depends upon where I am, how busy the street is and if I am by myself or not.
If I am in a downtown area in a strange town and there are very few pedestrians around and I am by myself, yes I am afraid. If one side of the street is better lit wit street lights,
neon signs and an occasional place open, I will cross to that side of the street.

Answer 6

Dark alleys are kinda spooky. I think its all a trick of the mind tho.

Answer 7

Sometimes, especially at night or in strange places. If I know I'm going to be anywhere around those, I grab a flashlight and take it along. I have one in the passenger part of my car and one in the trunk of my car, with extra batteries. It is a good idea, especially if you are single. It helps, also if you buy one of the really small flashlights to hook on your keyring, so if you approach your car, you can turn it on, also. :o)

Answer 8

Im terrified of the dark! If I have to walk outside to one of our trucks at night, I always have my b/f watch me out the window to make sure no one gets me.

Answer 9

Terrified of all of the above.

Not so much Places, because there are usually other people around.

Answer 10

No, I am not afraid of anything.

Answer 11
