Tonights topic is fear. Fear is the driving force of mankind. Of anything really. Everyone has one. A lot of people say they don't have one, but I believe every single person in the world does. Fear comes in a lot of different forms. Whether it's a fear for their friends, their family, their very lives.... Some times it's other things like snakes, spiders, and so forth. Some people fear the future, some fear the present, and some even fear themselves. It's an excellent motivator to get people to do things even if it means hurting others... Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering...... your probably thinking, "Hey! That's from Star Wars!" well...it is, and it's completely true. Like I said before, fear comes in a lot of different forms. Now your probably wondering what mine is. Most wont say what theirs is because it can be used against them. Me? Ha! You can't control mine like others. My one and possibly only fear is that I wont be remembered. I may have said this in another entry, but it still stands as the worst thing that could happen to me. It doesn't have to be anything too fancy, but just something. Hell, a moment of silence would be okay with me! Oh well. However, if I'm remembered because of some evil s**t, then kiss that dream goodbye. Dreams and fear can go hand in hand. Especially in my situation. I used to fear death. I also used to fear the unknown. And it wasn't the pain that scared me. It was the idea that I could be here one minute and the next not. Where would I go? If anywhere! Would death just be it? Would there be an after life? Or would I simply just rot in the dirt like countless before me? But now I don't care about that stuff anymore. It's not important. If I waste all my time thinking about it, then I wont have much time to actually live it...
Thank you for watching another episode of "Ramblings of a Madman!" and goodnight, or for me and some other people...good morning.
