What is your worst F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real)?

Question

I have been doing a personal study on people's fears and how far-reaching they can be on a societal level. I'm curious. Does fear making people judgmental? Or is it the other way around? What is your worst fear...personally, for your family... for your local community....for your nation....for the world?

Answer 1

i would not describe fear as false evidence appearing real, for if you know its false, its not a bother,
fear can be real, and justified, it can be personal or influenced by society
often our government will put fear into our minds, to distract from other issues, such as the current "we should fear immigrants" , as opposed to dealing with war and health care issues
fear most often is based on the concept of losing something, and not being able to control it
fear can make people judgmental, racist, hatefull, many negative things
but there are some real things to fear, and accepting that fear and putting it in a place you can handle, is a big task
right now, i guess i fear alot, the old "what you think about wont happen", so i try to imagine many tragedies, i guess i feel if i let down my guard, the thing i dont fear will happen
but i have passed my worse fear, which i really didnt even realize i had, my sister was killed when she was 5, the year my daughter was 5 i had a hard time, as they looked so much alike, only after that year did i realize what my fear was, of losing her
the cold war fear of the Russians, the current fear of immigrants, etc are ways our society, threw our government , places fear in us, many religions try to place a fear of God, we are afraid of the IRS so we pay our taxes, without asking or expecting accountability for what they do with the money, so yes we live life often based on fear,

A Fear which is used to manipulate people into supporting wars.Not a fear at all just the usual thing of Xenophobia .''They'' will attack if we do not is often what is said to get people going oranother line ''they will get us if we do not'' is the usual talk to whip people into a war ready frenzy. Have satire to counter fear of all people or at least many. It is this an army equipped with snake creatures as a metaphor for propaganda incite the people of Earth at various times to mass murder eachother by by injecting hatred into the minds of people this is then strenghthened to the point where it engulfs the globe and every nation is involved in it. what follows is immolation of people in mobile armed vehicles, shooting of unarmed people, special units of Executioners which behead citizens of various countries, preceeding units which assassinate political leaders and those considered who disagree, This is an army which sets up hate groups and plunges nations into war as it invades them and kills as the other killings go on. It sets up fortified places where it can burn people to death. it deliberatley bombs select areasfrom the sky to kill specific people and tasks Special Bombing Groups to do this.Though in this story what makes the fear worse is that the dead from the bombings rise to join the army on the ground. Necromantic war in short.Defeat is achieves by knowledge from libraries. On To A Non Non Real Fear. Think September 11bjust imaginary fear along with attacks by Wahabi Radicals not real also just a silly excitement which runs like this''when will the next attack be'' when will those terrorists attack next and what will they do what will they bomb. actually I knowthis unlikely but still even if I know this the papers make Me think about when I know this is not the problem and the fearmongering has suceedded.guess Ill just have to ignore the news and not read about any attacks
