What is your single biggest fear in life?

Quote from dagobaz:

1): alzheimer' s. or a stroke which induces a similar condition: imagine living the rest of your life as a zombie, without being aware of the damage you cause to all around you ... a truly living death. dreadful ! nothing else bothers me a whit, except for the paranoid fear of being long 100 in the minis when someone nukes chicago ....

2): i monitor carefully for any signs of the disease ... this does make me somewhat paranoid ... i dread nights when i do not get enough sleep ... on balance, i do not think this phobia has affected my outcome much, at all ... it exists, and i am aware of it

ps: i am never long 100 mini' s

Look into taking large doses of Delta Tocotrienol if there is a significant genetic predisposition in your family. Feel free to PM if you need more info on sources, etc...

Fear of death is a universal fear which is seldom discussed in great length.

Death is something which is there but your attitude to it can change.

Death is the end. Why try and extend yourself beyond the end with some la-la-land self deceit of continuing in another dimension.

Try this. Death is good. Its the closing page of your storybook. 'That was a f**king good story' you need to think of yourself right now. I lived that story .. my story. And I took part in the grand scheme of things, the chain of humanity.

Now, come on, is there something else you want to do after death?

The patient hates the situation and wishes he was dead.

And then eventually the patient doesn't even know where he is at
and walks around with a baby doll in his hands thinking he is a kid
again and doesn't have a care in the world...

I don't think that is so. I have encountered a few people in varying stages of the condition. In each case, there was a fair amount of paranoia and distrust. That is an understandable response since the afflicted person does not know exactly who he is at some point and, therefore, does not know who or what to believe. That can only be very disconcerting. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone and my heart goes out to anyone affected, directly or otherwise. I don't think there is a silver lining in this story, as you seem to suggest.

Damn! Much as I dislike you, Cheese, that is a solid post. Nicely done.

Heavy metals such as mercury,aluminum,etc., may play a major role in causing Alzheimer's. The genetic part of Alzheimer's may actually be the genetic inability to detoxify those heavy metals. How many silver/mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth? Try searching mercury detoxification. I have mercury poisoning plus a load of other toxins. Slowly detoxing and getting better. maybe.

Before I retired my wife, she worked for years as nurse in an Alzheimers unit.

What I have stated comes from her...

I am sure it can't be true for everyone, but she says it is actually
true for most people. She says people worry too much about getting
Alzheimers.

My mom worries about getting Alzheimers because my grandfather did.

She has an excellent memory. Better than mine. (not hard... lol).

My wife says she is worrying about nothing. If you come down with
Alzheimers fast, you don't even know it.

As far as the Vit E stuff the Vit companies are selling, it's most likely
a rip-of if you ask me.
 
Quote from Ripley:

1. Presently, what is your single biggest fear in life? It need not be limited to the trading arena.

My life being taken prematurely. I had a near death experience in college where I was attacked by a 6'6" 275 schizophrenic retard on a stairway. I could've easy broke my neck and could've been paralyzed.

2. How, and to what extent, do you think this fear has either helped or hindered you?

I am much more aware, alert as to where, when and who I am with at all times.

3. If you have found that, on balance, your fear has hindered you, what steps do you think you would need to take in order to overcome that fear?

I am paranoid. I won't let anybody mess with me. I carry a gun everywhere I go. The next person who would violate my right to live forever in anyway is going to pay with their life.

4. What prevents you from taking these steps? (If, indeed, you have found that your fear serves as a hindrance.)

I am a lot more concerned for people I love. I would have a hard time having children, etc due to the fear of losing them... or letting them risk their life cut short by others.

This is f u c k i n g funny. If you made this up you should think about changing your career and begin writing novels.
If this is true well......

i've actually had a similar situation and know how you feel...as for those of you that think this is funny...well...this is actually part of the hostility of life...if you have a hard time interpreting what Ripley is talking about then you have no concept of the infinite amount of bizarre situations life can put you in...and until you do...you will never truely understand the complexities of life and could possibly be sideswiped at any moment
