Does being alive ever scare you?

[ashleyisrad]

It scares me how fragile life is. But, I'm not scared of "being alive". I'm scared of dying, for sure.

[swkstudent]

Sometimes yes when I hear about all the horrible things that happen to people everyday, but being afraid is going to cause me to miss out on all the great things that life has to offer.

Im not afraid of Life, or death.

[lgemini]

Yes, everyday I am scare of being a live.    This is a part of being human is facing your fears.

In the media there's a saying "if it bleeds, it leads". Negative stuff sells on the news cause it's quite a departure from most people's everyday lives. I'm not afraid of being alive by any means, but there is a concerted effort to keep people scared of anything and everything to make them more receptive to these solutions that the powers that be present to us. Fear is just another tool that is being used to manipulate you.

Life is scary and sometimes it really does scare me to think about bringing kids into this world because you never know what is going to happen next.

[quietpal]

Does not scare me. Don't want to live my whole life in fear because of something I heard on tv. I only have one life, so I want to make the most of it and create happiness and joy whenever I can.

Well, I do know Jesus and he tells us not to be afraid in fact "fear not" is in the bible alot.  However, God also knows about human emotion because he built that into us and it is not always possible not to be afraid.  I am afraid more in relation to my loved ones than anything else but I know where to put my trust and when I am afraid I pray about it and try to move past it because the bible also says that worry (a form of fear) doesn't accomplish anything (it does not add one whit to our life) so I try to be positive and trust in the Lord and live each day the best that I can.

I watch the news and stuff and sometimes being alive scares me.

I don't think being alive scares me.  I would have much rather lived along time ago, I think although they had their problems also.  Things that that scare me are things like living through a nuclear disaster or when the government finally wins and we end up with nothing as individuals.

Sometimes being alive does. People killing other people over petty things such as scratching their shoes and how the government is doing nothing in interest for America makes me think...why humans?

[sarabtrayior]

Being alive is just being alive, there is nothing scary about it because there is nothing you can do about it...

[Abrupt]

No, but I was watching a very old black and white movie the other day and I had a strange feeling as I realized that some of the actors in it that were younger than me during the filming were long since dead of old age.

[diala84]

I'm not scared of being alive but rather all the things that can end life and joy. That is why I don't tend to watch the news. Bad things are going to happen but waiting and expecting them won't change the fact that they will happen and there is nothing you can do about it. So relax and enjoy what comes your way as long as you can and live your life to the fullest.

[SherryMoley]

Yes actually sometime life does scare me ecspecially having my two kids. I watch all the bad natural disasters happen or so they call them natural. I see all the terrorist attacks. Sometimes i am scared and think oh my goodness what if a nuclear war happens or some disaster like u see on all the movies it is very scary. So i would say this is a great topic.

[tzs]

No. Compaired to other people in other countries around the world, I think I have got it pretty easy in my life. Some people don't even consider themselves alive anymore because of all they have lost in their lives.
