What are your irrational fears? 
Submitted by Dan Culhane.  

Hmmm....aren't most fears irrational?  I mean, most fear death, many fear life, all fear loss of all kinds.  And there's not a whole lot we can do about any of that.  We live - and if you're unafraid of it, life is pretty damn good.  We all die - so there's no point to being afraid of it.  And to live well, we are all going to experience loss.  So to be afraid of any of that is kind of pointless.  Accept it and as long as you grow from it, then it's nothing to be afraid of.

Ok.  Now.  That said, I am paralytically afraid of tornadoes.  Go figure.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

I've just joined the Quote of the Day group & this is my first post to it.
Not sure if the group wants the why it speaks to me, but my very good friend's 30 year old cousin was just diagnosed with a form of neuro-dystrophy & has 2 weeks to 2 years to live, but will never regain true lucidity.
So really, don't take the good things in life for granted.
