Re: What's your worst fear

My biggest fear, if you can call it that, is having regrets.

Being on my deathbed, whenever that may be, and wishing 'if only'. I'd find that very sad.

Happily I have no regrets in my life so far, and as for other fears, they'd take up to much of my time and effort to expend any of my energy on them. They'd unnecessarily waste too much time, that could be spent more productively.

Even as an atheist I think these words are very apt.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
