I'm afraid of things that haven't happened and afraid that things that have happened might happen again. I don't know why that is. Is there a cure? I'm afraid you won't read my comment. OK not really, because it all goes to email and all and I know you'll see it (see how I talk my way through these things?

Dread seems vague and diffuse, more a general unease (you allude to this by listing all the different things you dread).<br /><br />Fear definately helps us to survive; dread maybe has a different purpose. I think it reminds us that we're individuals, that life is precarious and not assured (in a general way), that we have to keep moving regardless of this ambiguity (as you say!). But that doesn't get rid of dread. It just reminds us who we are and where we're stationed.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171263275435609918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-7450568502769500202010-11-22T08:19:41.882-07:002010-11-22T08:19:41.882-07:00Into the fray!
