What are some of your fears?
I'm afraid that after enough days awake I will asphyxiate.
I'm afraid that I will wake up one day and my talents will be
You ever watch those videos of people free climbing buildings and looking over the edge, or walking along a cliff or whatever that give you sweaty palms? I have a horrible fear of that kind of thing, like to the point that (despite not believing in anything supernatural) I sometimes wonder if this is some sort of future premonition that I'm going to die by falling from some great height.
that I might not be able to find a loan shark when I really need one.

Death is pretty much it.
Even if the soul is recycled or goes to heaven or whatever, I don’t think the me I recognize as my actual self will persist in any way. That’s a bummer.
I don't fear death. I do fear the loss of abilities and the pain that usually come before death. I can only hope that I die unexpectedly and quickly.
I have nasal/sinus issues and can't breathe thru my nose half the time.
I fear being kidnapped and having my mouth gagged and then suffocating because I can't breathe.

I hope it relieves you to find out that even people with your condition (I am similar) can breathe through their nose if they have to. I have tried taping my mouth shut at night because it gets so dry, and I could still breathe.
One brand is even called Hostage Tape!
no, my ENT says inside my nose (I have a large Italian shnoz) is kinda crooked and "fleshy," and they can cut it out...so I'll do that at some point. They also said my sinus need work and they want to (no, really) put balloons in them and blow them up so it makes more room in the cavities. No thanks.
I'm addicted to nasal spray. I can't sleep at night if I can't breathe thru my nose, so there you go.
I will not jump from an airplane for A Billion Dollars in cash.
A ridiculously easy "No." from me.
Easiest no in the world from me!
There are other reasons I WOULD jump from a plane, but those are along the lines of Sophie's Choice and I'd rather not mention specifically.
I would bungie jump if I could test the bungie cords with something much heavier than myself, and also have a guarantee from God that my spine will remain assembled.
Billion is a big number... 400 million for taxes and 600 million walking around money.
I am in.
I would probably do it for 100k undeclared cash or crypto.
For a billion dollars, I'd jump out of a low-flying plane over water with no parachute
Heights for one, partially vanquished (but no bunjee type tests). Conquered it at a casino parking structure way high up, standing at the edge wall and leaning over it a bit, over and over and over.
Also public speaking, with a few forays into overcoming it.
there's only one viable answer to this question, and i will challenge anyone to a death match in the thunderdome who doesn't agree ;-)"I must not fear.Fear is the mind-killer.Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.I will face my fear.I will permit it to pass over me and through me.And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.Where the fe
Didn't know that one. It's a good one. I'd make some tweaks for it to hold up psychologically speaking.
The first line and fourth line are incompatible. One says you must not have it and one says you do have it. Fear is a basic human emotion ... everyone has it. It's not a mind killer. If the first line was tweaked to "I must not surrender to fear" or "must not be controlled by fear" ... that works better. Allowing it to pass thru is good, and when it is gone a more solid "I" will remain is terrific and invaluable.

Grats on figuring it out and doing it!
changes in our living opinions rarely happen lightening quick as a finger snap
if only for a moment thunderclaps also tend to cloud common thought
guess we all go to hail now
