FEAR
What am I afraid of? Hmm... It's going to sound pompous, but hear me out. I'm most afraid of the atrophy of my grey matter. I'm not touting my own brain as the greatest natural resource available to the 21st century or anything. It's just a scary interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.
The more I learn about the rate of degradation to the human brain through aging, the more I dread laying my head down on the pillow each night. Knowing that I will wake up each day with fewer brain cells and functional synapses is knee-knockingly terrifying.
*sigh*
