There are few people in the world that I care about. That's why I'm such a good conservative.

sad but true
ok I know that almost everyone in their life has been afraid of thunder at one point or another.
story time!
two days after 9/11 we had a thunder storm and there was a big thunder crack and I found myself running out of my room to my mom thinking we were under attack. and las night, 4 years since 9/11, I did the same thing. I found myself finding my dad and having to be held because I was scared that we were under attack! scary but true idk it's just that ever since that day whenever I hear any big booms or something that sounds or feels like we might be in danger I freak out.

Okay I have I once fear that would be heights. But, like I wont be afraid anymore if it is like a ride or something. Like I was afraid to go on the corkscrew at Valley Fair. But now it is my favorite ride. Still, havent faced the Wild thing. But this summer I will with my friend hopefully at least.
Oh and I am not really afraid but I wonder what will happen to me after death.

okay, this is getting off topic, and it needs to stop. *Cough- I've never been to Valley Fair- Cough* PM's and general discussions are great places to discuss things like this. Okay, just to get back on topic... I used to have a fear of heights. I mean a big fear of heights, I remember that I couldnt play on playgrounds because they were raised five feet off the ground. I couldnt look up in a large building because I would get sick to my stomach. I think it had something to do with my overactive imagination in which I kept dying. Which leads me to my current, partially fatalist view on life: I imagine that life is like a bunch of interdependant "webs". There is one web for each person, each one going into and out of every other web in existance. There are large threads for greatly important events, and an infinate number of smaller strands compiling smaller choices. Each path we take affects another number of webs, which changes another number, and so on and so forth. I figure that although we choose what path to take along this web, some bit of it relies on the choices of others as well. Say if a baker refused to sell a child a cake for a reduced price a hundred years ago, that child grew up angry, bitter, and sociopathic. This man then killed a number of people in a certain town, where he was hanged gruesomely. The town picked this up as a tourist attraction and began making a lot of money off of its story. An aspiring writer picked up his inspiration from the stories and wrote a book that moved the president of the country. The president then made a choice based upon this change that affected everyone in the nation. This would keep going on for ever; even in death people's decsions can change the world. In conclusion, I'm not afraid of death, because I realize that there is a reason for my dying. If my death eventually cured cancer one day, I would be able to consider it reasonable in death, even if death was actually a raging pit of torture, Unless I stopped caring about people after awhile, then death would suck.

Yeah, I agree with all that, except I already kinda don't care about people (there are a select few people that I do care about). I know what you're talking about with that chain of events thing. If you've ever seen the Final Destination movies, that'spretty much the idea of the movies except only dealing with death. In the movie (I only saw the second one) there was a psychic girl (I think) who had a vision that a bunch of people died, and she managed to stop it from happening. Death (personified) was mad that the thread of prophecy (to use a term from Morrowind) had been altered and so "he" began hunting down the people that were supposed to have been killed.
The whole concept of death tying up the loose ends is just SO stupid. Every little thing that those people did while they were supposed to be dead affected others in countless ways, some doubtlessly ending in death.
So yeah, I just wanted to mention that little plot-hole in Final Destination.
I still have a fear of heights, though not as bad as Kiddofreak's was, it seems. If I ever get near a high ledge and there is no railing or anything, there is a part of me that wants to just fall off of it (not that I'm suicidal, it's like some kind of poorly planned instinct. Like a lemming). So if I ever get too close to a ledge I have to avoid it for fear of jumping off.

Heights just bother me cuz whenever I get near my legs get weak and I feel like im going to fall off... I kind of stop trusting myself.
