That's a question that I think everybody has to ask themselves. It can be something ridiculous, it can be something reasonable. But everyone has to ask what they fear most, and what they don't fear. And then they have to ask why.

I don't fear death. To fear death is to fear the unknown, and I'm willing to let the unknown reveal itself to me in time, whether that time is sooner or later. Because I don't fear the unknown, I don't fear the great unknown that is death.

I don't fear pain. I don't like it, and I certainly don't go out of my way to hurt myself, but I know pain is a part of life, and so I don't fear it.

I don't fear the public opinion. I know that no matter what the general public says, if I remain happy with myself, that's the most important thing, and therefore I do not fear opinion.

I don't fear loneliness. As long as I have my writings, I will have a world all to my own inside of me, and while I would long for human contact, I would survive, because it is my duty as living, breathing being to preserve my existence until the very last.

What I fear the most is myself. I'm afraid of hurting other people, physically and emotionally. I know I can hurt, I can scar, bruise, and pummel another living creature. I know that I have the capacity to kill in cold blood, if necessary. That capacity, that ability to hurt and kill, goes so far against what I believe in that knowing I could do it, that I would do it, is what I fear the most.
