[net.philosophy] what should one be afraid of

sher (02/22/83)

From: David.Sher
I am not really sure if I am afraid of death or not (I avoid it
however) but to consider a more general question what are people afraid
of and why.  How afraid are you of pain (not so afraid so as to give up
using the computer which is surely a pain).  If we understood fear then
we would have a better shot at understanding fear of death.
