> frightening

I really don't know why people use this term. Nothing is frightening in the world of man.

It's like this:

Whatever can be made by man, can be destroyed by man.

Edit: So many frightened people...



Nothing is frightening because everything can be destroyed? That’s a new world view to me.


Here's some examples for your world view.

A man with a knife intent on doing harm, is stopped by one with a gun.

A man who develops a virus for a plague to kill people, is stopped by one who develops the cure.

A man who develops icbms to devastate a nation, is stopped by one intent to develop a missile defence shield.

There are many examples that I could continue with. The key takeaway here is that whatever some one does, in time there is an equal opposite reaction to counter it.

That's my world view. I personally don't fear anything. But then that's could be just how I'm built.


"A man who develops a world view to look badass on the internet"


What if the man with the knife stabs you in the stomach before the guy with the gun gets there?
