What is your worst fear?

The last time this came up, I said that my worst fear (in terms of broad life events and not ghastly accidents or sadistic criminal acts) was having to go to my own child's funeral.

twhitehead [oh my, don't you miss him?] called me out and said I didn't really fear that more than anything else (and that some kind of suffering while still alive would be a worse fear) and that gave me pause for thought.

But I'm sticking to it regardless: burying any of my children before I die myself ~ my worst fear.

What about you?

torture

Not afraid of being dead. Worried about dying though.

What would be your worst fear in terms of broad life events as opposed to ghastly accidents or sadistic criminal acts?

For sure that would be my #1 as well. Next would be people like OSAS gang laughing at me when the day of judgment arrives. ..

There is no day of judgment where one’s eternal fate is determined. An individual determines that for himself or herself right here on earth.

If my kids died. I don't want to think about that.

Yeah. A pain but honest.

I think my worst fear would be getting caught.

My worst fear is the wrath of God. Human wrath I can deal with. Chastening by God is unpleasant but survivable. The wrath of God? Nothing worse.

God is absent. Wrath of wife however you actually have to deal with.

Rotten people do have that problem.

Don't rule out the possibility that God could be using your wife to chasten you.

The smart man embraces the brawling woman. Well, very carefully of course.
