NATURE -- Which Are Humans' Worst Fears?

Which Are Humans' Worst Fears?

Which are Humans' Worst Fears? Which Are Your Biggest Fears? This subject interested me when I watched History Channel's program "Primal Fears".  I was never afraid of dying, for example, but that doesn't mean I am ready to die.

Fears come in multiple packages, related to death or even the everyday fears. Remember it isn't by order.

Worst Ways to Die:

    1.   Drowned

This is one of the most feared and scariest way to died. I can't even imagine how we must feel when we realize we can't breathe and we feel the water entering our lungs. We just simply know we are going to die.

    2.   Burned Alive

Wow. This may be, for me, an awful way to die. There are three process to die from the fire. The inhalation of the smoke, the heated air that burns our nose and respiratory system and keeps us from breathe, and then the dehydration. It must be horrible feel our body burns and shut down and the extreme heat.

    3.   Eaten Alive

A lot of people have accidents with animals every year. Some of them survive, other don't have the luck to tell their story. Can you imagine a animal (mountain lions, bear, lion, wherever) eat you? Neither can I. 

    4.   Buried Alive

Have you ever thought in being buried alive? It has to be awful. You have no escape, your oxygen is running out, you can't move and you are facing a slow and painful death. Good luck! I'm glad I'm not in tour shoes.

Worst Everyday Fears:

    1.   Terrorism

Terrorism dates back to thousands of years ago. The worst part of it is that it is so random which makes everything even scarier. Since 9/11 we have a different respect and fear for Terrorism. We saw it in another and totally different scale. We weren't ready and we aren't ready. There are people who live this fear in their daily lives.

    2.   Insects/Animals/Reptiles 

Animals and insects like lions, mountain lions, bears, spiders, snakes, etc. makes some humans' lives miserable.  When we know we are in a room with a huge spider but you don't know where it is, you freak out? I do. 

    3.   Hell

The image and idea of hell was created to people choose the correct side, the good side. People don't want to burn for the eternity and be surrendered by demons. This was and still is an idea to prevent persons from harm and injure other persons. 

    4.   Death

There are persons who don't really think about it, but there are other who think about it everyday, which in my opinion is not a good thing. The thought that we simply stop our existence, everything we did ended, scares a lot of people. We just got to keep going!

    5.   Disease 

If you give it a real thought we know it would be complicated if we had a life threatening disease. The true is that becoming sick, really sick, scares the hell out of us.

If you have any fear, face it. Don't let it control your life.

Do you know another fear you have?
