Fear of losing

One of my big fears is the fear of being alone, as a tiny creature facing a vast and terrifying world.

Fear of being consumed by the world. As though the world is one big entity that is waiting to consume me, a tiny little creature. 

The terror of losing my existence and suffering through it.

Losing your existence to the world is the ultimate humiliation.

It seems that making money and having relationships would somehow enlarge me and make it harder for the world to consume me. So, I keep seeking to make more money and increasing my network.

And as the larger body of humanity, it seems that our collective fear of losing our existence keeps driving us harder to attempt to tame the world through technology.
