A Fear of the Infinite 

“The problem with introspection is that it has no end.”

— Philip K. Dick

        Fear is a trek too far into the unknown. I fear many things in life; from germs to more apparent things, like a shark, but the greatest has always been the infinite. Your mind racing with it thoughts, pleading to emerge, hoping that their worth, their whole existence would be explored, hypothesized. As the currents flow like a running river, there tends to be more bitter ones, regarded with dread, fears. I sat in my chair thinking of the infinite, a start with no end. What a cruel thing, events in repetition, the only thing left to do is simply accept your fate. This forced me to open my mind, how might one cope with these conditions, these prerequisites. One must learn to accept, as one also learns to give. A world without a price is meaningless, and this price we must all pay. Fear is like a limitation you are given, like anything you must conquer.
