You Can Only Fear What You Don’t Understand:
People fear what they don't understand because of a chance to get hurt. People fear being vulnerable and choose comfort instead. Fear is also born from lack of knowledge and being too ignorant. The key to overcome fear of not understanding is to have an open mind.
Beyond Hope and Fear:
rather than inspiring and motivating us, hope has become a burden made heavy by its companion, fear of failing. so we have to abandon hope, all of us, and learn how to find the place “beyond hope and fear.” this is a familiar concept in buddhism, yet little known in western thinking.
Can a moral man, that's me, maintain his moral code in an immoral world:
Immorality is evil, sinful, or otherwise wrong behavior. Immorality is often called wickedness and is a state avoided by good people. Since morality refers to things that are right, immorality has to do with things that are wrong — like stealing, lying, and murdering.
Thanatophobia:
Medical professionals link anxiety around death to a range of mental health conditions, including depressive disorders, PTSD, and anxiety disorders.

Favourite bands of mine

Trying to coax myself into a enriched state of consciousness, but there’s a innermost void is having an dispassionate conservative, nervousness about what is happening goading me into thinking that people should be treated unfairly by society as a whole rather than by the minority as is the case nowadays. The only thing that makes sense is that the majority who are in a position to change the situation don’t want to have their power hold taken away from their self’s. Sometimes I wish that I personally didn’t. Care so much about the effects of the issues surrounding me…
