ooooh.... interesting topic, which has probably faded out into a spam thread. But let me (topicallly) add to it.
My worst fear isn't dying, or getting maimed into a vegetable or anything like that. My fear is something like experiencing someone completely innocent getting completely messed over in unconventional ways.
Example: I saw an anime once with a plant that was poisonous and carnivorous. It killed a pretty hot looking girl (anime, need i say : ) and the plant knocked her out with poison gas, ate her then inside the plant, she woke up just in time to get dissolved and burnt to death by digestive acids. Then, her soal was trapped inside the plant, even though she was a sweet and nice person, she was doomed to be alone in darkness. If the plant dies, her soal is lost permanently. I have rather creepy dreams about this happening to my girlfriend... Stuff like this really bothers me.
However, on a more personal account, one of my greatest friends in my history worries me. it goes down like so.
This girl at school had a crush on me for over 6 months. I wasn't single and she feels she can't compete with her. But we were great friends and even my girlfriend likes her. (almost 2 girlfriends... 0wn4ge!) However, she tells me that she is the only girl in her lineage for over 7 generations, and since the children of each generation has been male, it was a high tradition to serve in the german military. Yeah, her grandfather IS a really nasty nazi that still hates jews. But she was born in the U.S. with her parents, buther grandfather hates her, so the grandfather orders her parents to him so he can force her into the german military. She's getting her american citizenship abolished, she's gonna relearn german, and learn russian and japanese. She wanted to go to an art school in america! every dream she had of being a media artist is destroyed and she has two choices: Live the hell, or suicide. She's seriously considering suicide now, i tell her to last it out but she's so panicked by her misery. This enrages me to no end, i can't believe how evil people can be. I want to go up to her grandfather and bust him in his fuckin lips... but i can't do SHIT! This is a living fear for me. I know if she takes her own life, she'd either become enghostic, or go to hell, and she'll be lost forever. I asked a rather special friend of mine to watch over her. It was tough, but i convinced him to change his focus off of me and onto her. Besides, i have several people I know watching me anyway.
I use this mental torment as a feul for my writing and even influences the developement of some of my game design projects. I'm glad i have such great friends online, on this side, and on the otherside.
BLAH!!! I'M RANTING! ok i'm done...
