Why do we as a species care so much about what others think. I mean seriously. Each and every fear one may have is comprised of one of two things. The first of course being death, heights, illness, etc. Those are understandable but public speaking and rejection these hold no immediate danger yet hover over our heads like flying saucers. Why does the human race have this collective fear of judgement tormenting it? Why do we live our lives as if it will somehow jump out and hurt us when we aren’t suspecting it. It can’t hurt us any more than all the other emotions floating out in space. So why does it rule our lives?
