Search Results: most extreme thing

During the summer I went to my moms cousins husbands funeral. I didn’t really think too much of it since I never really knew his name until 30 minutes before he died.

He was an extreme diabetic who never really took care of himself. He needed surgery because without it he would’ve been dead in months. I’m not sure what happened but I know it involved skin not staying together or something but he died during surgery. Luckily for him he was under heavy anesthetic and went painlessly.

at the wake I had this feeling like “holy fuck 40ish years gone. Just like that.” I still think about that sometimes.

but at ceremony at the church (my moms side is all catholic) I remember the services and watching his family walk back down the aisle and his parents were sobbing. When we were actually putting him in the ground when I noticed his kids. He had two daughters and a son. The girls were trying but failing to hold back their tears. The son, I think, was too young to fully grasp what’s happening. I’ve seen a lot of things. But that’s something I never want to have too see again.

Overall I felt horrible for his family most of all. I also felt bad for him too because he’s person and his life has ended. But I think it was hardest on the family.

Everyone fears it at one point, or another.

From middleschool into adulthood.

Rejection.

... but what of are we actually afraid?

My name is Oka, and I'm a professional wingman, for both men, and women. I advise, and assist people in learning how not to be afraid. Before we can address what of we're afraid, we have to discover what fear is.

There are VERY real reasons to be afraid.

Here are some scenarios.

An armed assailant wants your wallet, or your purse. You're staring down the barrel of a pistol so close you can see the caliber. The threat is real, and you have every reason to be afraid.

You're hiking, you're alone, and cross paths with a starving mountain lion. You have every reason to be afraid.

You fall in a tiger pit at a zoo. Zoo keepers are rushing to get tranq guns, and rifles... but the tiger is only five feet away. Be afraid.

These seem outlandish.

Outside of the most extreme scenarios, freak accidents, and unlikely outcomes, odds are in your favor (especially if you're not taking late night walks down dark alleys, or lonely streets; hiking alone , or jumping into tiger pits) that you're not going to end up in these situations. I'm notnsaying these such things cannot hapoen, only that the odds are infantismal that they will.

Fear, by and large is imagined. We as people live life under the guise of "What if".

What if this? What if that?

... but what is "what if"?

What if often leads to fear... and fear is largely imagine. It is an imagined outcome of an unlikely scenario what has not yet occurred, and probably will not.

The good thing about flirting, dating, asking someone out, or revealing your feelings, is that the worse they could do is reject you.

... so what's wrong with that?

Every coin has two sides, and to get to the meat and potatoes of your fears, we have to address hypocrisy. Has someone ever asked you out, and you simply didn't feelcthat same attraction? Have you ever had to reject someone?

Recently i've been watching the Tudors.
One thing above all struck me one day, were the Tudors cursed?

Back in the 16th century death, disease and illness were commonplace. But it seems throughout history, none suffered so much as the Tudor dynasty.

Henry the 7th technically stole power, leaving his Son Arthur as king after his death, then Arthur died young leaving Henry the 8th as Monarch. As we know, Henry had many wives, 2 of whom were put to death, 1 on very flimsy charges. the other (Katherine Howard, 5th wife) arguably deserved it.
He had many still born children, those that survived died young (Henry Fitzroy died an infant, and his other son Edward who died aged 15)

Jane Seymour (3rd wife) died in childbirth, Katherine Parr (6th wife) too,
it seems also that those that knew him and associated with him also had extreme bad luck. Was the curse passed on through association?

Mary Tudor died childless, bitter, and relatively young for the time.
Elizabeth too died childless... never married...

but perhaps the most interesting part is this. A monk "cursed" Henry.. saying that when he died his body would explode and dogs would drink his blood at the wayside; (and they did). On his way to his burial, his coffin literally exploded... and dogs drank his blood in the street.

Sorry if this is disjointed. im not great at writing long things based on many subheadings.
