To be aware of it is the scariest thing in the universe --- If it exists outside our perception. Awareness that we are nothing compared to the size of the universe and our time of existence in this universe is less than the blink of a cosmic eye. Awareness that our senses are drastically limited to perceive the true nature of the universe. Awareness that any amount of scientific knowledge won’t be enough for us to differentiate if the universe is subjective or objective, that we're pre-programmed or we have a free will, that we are created or are we the result of some random events (or experiment). For me this is my broad view. At a more personal level what scares you.
Failure. though I also go through existential crisis which can lead to terrifying thoughts. I am scared of being lazy and stupid and not trying hard enough and messing up my life. I am scared that I upset people or that I get things wrong. I am scared of being alone.
Hi Ann.
I can substitute the word "scared" in your post with the words "occasionally conscious."
I'm glad to be this way because being aware (even occasionally) reminds me to keep checking for ways and means to improve my life.
There's a piece of "stupid-o-clock" motivational positivity for myself.....thanks for the catalyst Ann. Happy Sunday.
