The main fear of people would vary from person to person. To certain people, it’s killer animals, and not just those that can be easily seen, like bears, big cats, and even stray dogs. Venomous spiders, snakes, and mosquitoes could be the things that many people are the most afraid of. To other people, it’s losing those that they deeply care about. With others, it could be the other drivers on the road. Well, the thing that I fear the most is stupidity.
Stupidity is something that can harm and even break someone both mentally and physically. It can be daunting and unpredictable. It can hit someone by either accident or on purpose. Stupidity can result in a minor setback, and it can result into the trajectory of someone’s life being changed forever. I would know this because I had been hit by so much stupidity, I ended up being afraid of encountering more of it. When hit by so much stupid things in life, it could take a long time to recover from it, depending on the magnitude of the stupidity that one had experienced. I still had not fully recovered from the worse forms of stupidity that I had experienced, and even if I managed to turn my life around in a big way, I probably never will recover. So much damage had been done. How stupid my life had gone had caused me to fear stupidity more than anything else.
The fact that I made an article in October that’s about a terrible thing is coincidental. I had made articles about terrible things months prior, and I don’t celebrate Halloween nor any other holiday anymore. I had mentioned that in my article that’s called ‘I used to celebrate holidays’. If I had never been hit by so much stupidity in my life, then I would still be celebrating holidays, and I wouldn’t of made this article. The End.
