- favouring “quack” treatments over professional help
Hypochondria (imaginary disease)
- concentrating the mind upon disease

- lack of physical exercise leads to becoming over-weight
Susceptibility
- body’s resistance breaks down –> easier to contract a disease
- can lead to too much time preparing for sickness
Self-Coddling
- using an imaginary illness to seek sympathy (and get out of work)
- hides laziness and lack of ambition Intemperance
- use of alcohol and other drugs to destroy pains, rather than eliminating the causes
4) Fear of Loss of Love
This may be the most painful fear. At least it seems that way if you listen to popular music.
Jealousy
- suspicion of friends and loved ones without reasonable evidence
- suspicion of everyone –> no absolute faith in anyone
Fault Finding
- with friends, relatives, colleagues, and loved ones
- without any cause
Gambling
- thinking love can be bought
- gambling, stealing, cheating, over-spending
- leads to insomnia, nervousness, lack of persistence, lack of self-control, lack of self-reliance, bad temper
5) Fear of Old Age
Old age can take away freedom and independence (physical and economic).

Narrow Thinking
- no longer taking initiative, using imagination or maintaining self-reliance
Mimicking
- dressing and acting like much younger people –> ridiculed by friends and strangers
6) Fear of Death
This fear can be the cruelest fear for some. Is there life after life? The question of what happens after death can be troubling.
Thinking About Dying
- instead of making the most of life
Lacking Purpose
- too much time to worry when not busy
Burden on Loved Ones
- could leave loved ones in poverty due to death or illness prior to death

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!|
