Fear or laziness?

Fear. But not like Fear and Loathing. Fear like debilitating, immobile, can't breath, fear.

Yes, that's my final answer.

I think fear is more instinctive than laziness, as it has a survival function, but I think the most ubiquitous human characteristic is the need to change things that are fine just the way they are.

I don't think it's either of those. I believe it's our ability to be hurt emotionally and our unintentional tendency to hurt others when we don't realize they have emotions for us.

I agree with Lex on this one. people just can't let things be.

Greed.

I didn't realize we could pick our own. We were given two choices. Only I stayed in the box. Our unique human characteristic is our ability to make decisions on our own regardless of societal constructs.

eventually Ill get around to answering...hope no one gets mad at me..

I'm afraid I might.

Indifference ...

RAW STUPIDITY!

Example, tell a human not to do something and they have to do it!

I would say fear, as it drives so many other things like hate, violence, ignorance, and even laziness sometimes


laziness is limited because life requires movement,,,,

fear and greed...fear will paralyze us, greed will destroy us.

Ennui ...

Out of the options given, fear is the most common.

Make people fear something and you can control them.

We live in a fear based culture!

The paranoid need for Deterrent Force and WMDs for one. It is bad enough to have a few but to have thousands?

Oddly if we don't have them we will have them used on us.

The media feeds us fear and doom all the time. The government release the right information to make people act the way they want through fear and terror. The TSA is a prime example of the fear complex to make unnecessary jobs! Face it the TSA is as worthless as teats on a boar.

But humans have a phobic need for everything to be homo-centric otherwise they become xenophobic. Fear is an instinctual part of us.

So is just being plain stupid and idiotic.

Im sorry...what was the question again...??

Vanity.

We draw to us what we are most afraid of until we conquer it by learning not to fear.
The opposite to Fear is Faith. What ever your Faith, it is stronger and conquers all fear, if you focus on it.
Yet don't take my word for it, try it out for yourself
