Bruce, Courage is acting in the face of fear, where the action speaks to virtue. Having no fear is something entirely different. People are born that way sometimes. And sometimes people are temporarily desensitized by events in a theatre or war or a sub-culture gone awry. The dy secret of PTSD is that it is almost always not about what is done to us, but something that we did, or allowed to be done.

Answer to your question..I've seen enough. Your characterizations of fear exhibited a disjoint. Al the stuff about oblivion and that fear of death was cultural....this wasn't thought through. That's the best that can be said. But then you gave a very descriptive depiction of fear in a runaway paragraph, that rang very true.

One has to be logical and marry up the incongruity best as can. I think it says you've had experiences of fear that you still struggle with. You described your own fear.

I don't know what you are talking about. You must be confusing me with something someone else wrote.
