CATALOGUE OF FEARS by Hermosa Bahari |
| Intro Same categories can be applied for fears as for reality. Fears can be classified and grouped according to good old Aristotelian principles. Traditional logic once more, in practice, demonstrates its immortality. This does not mean that, because of that, fears are something real. Fear certainly cannot fit into the ontic sphere. That just means that these categories do not belong to the domain of reality. This classification is utterly relative, maybe insufficient, but it is ours. But it could be yours too. Each one of you has the right to have his own fears, classifications and categorizations. Nevertheless, entirely phantom fears, such as fear of reality and fear of truth, should not be included into classifications of any kind since they do not refer to anything real. Fear of loneliness fits into the above-mentioned category for we were born alone, and we will die alone. Such is the state of affairs. All fears we were able to think of, at this moment, are compatible with each other. They intertwine because this frightening diversity is rooted in one single, universal fear - fear of freedom, fear that we might rouse our creative self, which creates out of nothingness, and plays in madness. We run away from such freedom, we are afraid of it, because, after all, it hurts. Banal Fears Fear of Flying Political Fears |
