Frightening Stuff

So what in the world is most frightening?

If so, is there anything frightening in people?

Don't you mean afraid of other people's stupidity?

Isn't the stupidity of criminals something scary?

Aren't you afraid of suffering birth, illness, aging, and death?

Do you mean we'll never suffer if never stupid?

I've looked everywhere, there's nothing at all!

I'm immeasurably afraid of my own stupidity!

That's no trouble if our own doesn't resist!

If we aren't stupid they won't dare anything!

They burn us because we're so enormously foolish!

I'm certain. Fear only our own big, fat stupidities!
