New Year's Eve

New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in
the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among
created things that the passage of another twelve months may be
noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening
that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.

Phobiamania

When I was preparing for aptitude exams, I came across many phobias and many manias. Today I just thought of combining these two suffixes.

 

"PHOBIAMANIA: Obsession of fearing"

 

Almost all of us are suffering from this type of mania.

We are living in a very insecure world. We are habitual of getting feared by each and other things.

When we were young, we were feared by the thought of going schools. The name of books or teachers fears us.

At grown up age, we started getting feared by the future thoughts.

And now at this juncture, we feared our bosses.

Little later, we would be feared by future of our children.

At older age, we might get feared by the thought of life after death.

 

And this will go on and on.

Always.
