We the people

I have been thinking recently- what are we afraid of? Some nut jobs around the world are afraid that their God might come down from the skies and punish them for having a wank, but reward them for hating their gay brothers. Others, that the aliens will kidnap them and perform some nasty experiments to their testicles. There still are some few that fear the black cat that just crossed their path. But most of us, the majority, are really afraid of Mark Zuckerber waking up one day and deciding to make  personal view count on each profile in facebook. What are we going to do then? We will all know who has looked at our profile and how many time exactly, also other people will know when we have stalked them. Imagine you see that some guy from Sudan has been looking at your profile more than 100 times. What would you think? I would be freaking out, changing my adress and buying a new personality. Or even worse- all of a sudden we develop telekinesis and we become able to read everyone's minds and vice versa. How afraid are we going to be if the people around us knew what we think about them, or worse- knew our little secrets. Anyway, when you ask someone what is their biggest fear they will say deep sea filled with sharks, sudden attack by mutated 10 feet tall spiders or just dying; or something in those lines. No one will ever say- I am afraid that North and South Korea might start nuclear bombing each other and then Russia and USA might bomb them both and all that bombing ending with a nice big hole in the ozone layer. I have never heard a person saying 'I am afraid of what is going to happened when the petrol runs out and we have to start everything all over again'; 'I am afraid that we might not be able to take the next solar eruption, because we have thinned out the Earth' athmosphere'; 'I am afraid that someone will just burst into my class room and shoot me in the head' . No No. No. No one ever says that. 'Oh my god, can you imagine that- if HE/SHE found out how often I was looking at his/her facebook profile, I would be terrified.'.

 My biggest fear is zombie apocalypse. Not the slow zombies like Dawn of the Dead or The Walking Dead. But the fast creepy ones. the World War Z type. What are you afraid of?
