It seems only nature to afraid of the unknown but, it seems that some of the scariest things in life you do know. Why? If someone could somehow face the unknown and not be afraid, how can the known scare him. I guess the faux pas I am looking for is the taboo of others to know the unknown, and if one knows the unknown is not frightful it seems only meaningful that the known is the leviathan one must overcome. Just as Gilgamesh had to see Enkido die of a disease, he [Gilgamesh] sees the known: Mortality. What I am trying to make clear is that Gilgamesh thought he could be eternal and once he saw that the powerful must also meet the known [death] the unknown became the lesser fear. Now that the known is the more potent of fears, what must one do? In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh realizes his own mortality, faces it and realizes it is the fate of all men to die but, more importantly it is the way one must live life to its fullest because this is the lot of men. Whether it be a joyous occasion such as graduation or death, one has to face the reality of the known. Know that the known is here [just as mortality] where do you go from here? I don’t know the answer to that but, I do know that you don’t have to face it alone. Happy accidents, fear and loathing, and Glory on top of Glory. God is there, in the end who and/or what should I fear?
Final Summation: Reality blinked back.

Three very stupid, loud, female students are yelling sweet retarded phrases in each others ears. God have mercy on me and my thoughts of assault….

Will I graduate? Anticipation continues….
