How can you fear AND love something at the same time?
I'm especially thinking of theists who talk about both loving and fearing their god at the same time. But I'll accept more general answers as well, if you have one for me. :) Say, for instance: I love my sister! :) If she suddenly did something which was frightening enough for me to get really, really scared of her, however, like pulling out a loaded gun and threatening to shoot me, that would seriously detract from my love for her. Intense fear would completely take over, and while she was threatening me, that would pretty much be ALL I would be able to feel, I think. ..And that is just some very minor threat in comparison to a deity who is supposedly threatening to fry you in eternal hellfire if you disobey. How can you love AND fear something like that? How are those two things compatible to you? Sure, I get how you'd feel like appeasing someone who was threatening you. You worship your god and try to follow his supposed orders. Just like I'd obey my sister if SHE was threatening me with a gun. But it would be out of obligation, not out of love. I'd just be terrified out of my wits, and that would be it. So please explain to me how you are thinking. I'd appreciate it. :) BQ: I wonder if this is in any sense related to the Stockholm Syndrome..? What do you guys think? They seem pretty similar to me.
How can I describe someone running in fear?
I think in life or death situations you don't think, just act, so I would reduce interpretations to the minimum. Just plain data: the sound that a wolf running after you makes, the look of its teeth or the spark of its eyes in the dark that maybe she caught for a second before the chase began, the numbness of her legs getting cut as she runs, because that's not important right now... Give those details and let the reader draw the conclusions (ie. feel fear, because the character is too busy right now trying to save her life :) ). Also, to give a feeling of speed, keep the sentences short and simple. Give it a rhythm. Move on. No time to waste. Etc.
EXPLAIN, how the fear of radicals and foreigners affected the outcome of the sacco and vanzetti trail?
For one thousand dollars, that should have been TEN laptops.
"People living deeply have no fear of death...."?
The fear and fascination of death are intertwined as I accept the inevitability and avoid the possibility as long as I can. In my adventures I've scorned death, scoffing at my demise if the goal was within my reach. In solitude upon reflection of my end drawing close I feel the fear of unknown horizons or oblivion, yet the fear seems to be the driving force to seek out more adventures; for that is when I feel most alive. I think that the little deaths that leave one alive but missing a part of the whole allow the final death experience to be embraced as release, not to be feared; but as a reward for a life lived fully. I've almost passed over many times now and why I endure is a puzzle to me. A puzzle that I am grateful to consider with hope for some years to come. There is so much more that I would have from this realm, there will never be enough time; so death must take the back seat in my considerations as it interferes with my living. Perhaps I would present the fear of death as respect of a force that will surely overwhelm me in it's relentless erosion of myself, but for reasons I don't understand has been kept at bay. Life can hurt you every day, all day long if you let it. That's something to fear. Death, when it comes; only hurts you for the time it takes to die; then into the unknown; and you never know what is in the after. That doesn't seem so scary to me in comparison. It hasn't stopped me from living deeply yet, one day I'll get the double tap; and that just makes the seconds I'm alive all the sweeter. Thank you for asking this question.
Some Christians around here says that believe in god is nothing about fear? So scripture that mention fear is about nothing or fake news?
So a few are going with the fear isn't fear, that sound like Guliani Truth isn't truth... others are going with "fear" is recognition or respect... Some people also say paying Mob bosses or drug Lords are recognition or respect... not about fear, of course, fear is nothing about fear... how I will imply that everything is about that, all is about love and forgiveness, obviously.
Would you rather be loved or feared? Explain Please.?
A person who is loved & respected has willing followers that can be trusted to perform the task. A person who is feared has reluctant slaves that require watching and supervision at all times.
