Once my greatest fear became reality I realized that there is nothing left to fear for me...

the only fear I have left is truthfully the one I posted that one day society's hatred, fear and arrogance will truly destroy everyone and everything we has a species have accomplished.

Oh and damn CLOWNS!! Keep forget them....
Mimes are OK just creepy...but who thought the idea of a fun loving character for children would be a clown???

Staying away from the greatest show on earth...

again, thank you chynna!! big creepy painted on smiles with crazy hair a noses like alcoholics! it's bloody terrifying.

for my 3rd birthday my parents rented a clown from some agency over the phone and he showed up on a harley with a leather jacket!! he came in the door wreaking of cigarette smoke and he pulled a skull out of his black bag as a "funny prop". it was terrifying and we all started crying. he tried to calm us all down with face paint... but an hour later, everyone that got their face painted had broken out in a terrible rash.

can you say TRAUMATIZING!?!?!?

... scarred for life by the harley clown...

That's hilarious, Tino.
I love clowns though. They're so bright and cheerful, but what I really love are those "good clown gone bad" stories, kind of like your harley clown, Tino.
There's something so sinister and fascinating about a psychopath hiding behind the benevolent clown facade.
Send in the clowns...

OH I did think of a realistic fear I still have:

Breast Cancer!

I can't imagine life without my two girls (the rack as nero calls it!)

no no, send the clown back out!!!

Irrational fear..... Spiders

Rational fear... My bands music career being destroyed by my comeing out full time.  My band and my music mean everything to me. I dont know what I would do with out them or it.

Rational fear... Im also terrified of imprisonment.....

That the Twenty-second Amendment will be repealed.

My greatest fear was telling my spouse...then I did. 
Then it was telling my children...which I did.
Then it was telling my family...and I did.
Then telling my clients...going full time...surgery...making it all work...

I'm not afraid much any more.

You've come along way girl.  After enduring that there's not much more to be afraid of

Cindi, I've thought long and hard about the question:

If you had to lose one sense or the other, sight or hearing, what would you choose?

After long internal debate, I would prefer to lose my sight if I could keep my hearing.  I could communicate then and still be able to participate in life more fully than if I were to chose deafness.

I already have 'cocktail party deafness' where an environment polluted by noise can effectively render voices unintelligible.  And I hate those situations now...

Having the wrong people find out and taking my wife and kids from me, such as I and my wife feel some members of her family more so would do such thing. That is, make life so rough that the only peace she would know existed would be away from me to satisfy them. I know, over paranoid but things do happen. We are a strong couple but their bond is of a close nature as well which is why this is the main thing scaring me

Family bonds are always hard to deal with.  I think the best thing for you to do is to make sure that the bond between you and your wife and kids is stronger.  People say that blood is thicker than water, but not always.  making sure that your own family unit is strong, happy, and fruitful will go along way in fending off outside attacks.

That Melissa won't come back.

I will second that fear. I am so emotional of late reading that she may not come back was hard to take this morning.

Alice

I came back.

I guess my greatest fear is following my families tradition of a long painful drawn out death in a bed in a dreary place.   That or being found emaciated and drunk face down in the gutter.

Sorry, about this but you asked.

I was just thinking along similar lines yesterday.  Many people might say they fear something along the lines of:
Being persecuted for being who I really am.

But, here's a worse one:
Having to hide who I really am for fear of being persecuted.

Haven't most of us already been there?  Transition happens when you overcome that fear.
