Fear of Life
The great fear is the fear of existing, because if its structure can be understood, then perhaps we can know that there may be things about it that cannot be changed. If everything were left unchosen and unascribed, then at least the yet uncovered reality might be ultimately better than what could ever be imagined, or it could be void of the aspects of our reality that we wish weren't truly its components.
To impose a limit serves to reduce some complexity, but it also produces chances of not knowing how to cope with having knowledge of the structure that one cannot accept. Ultimately, the augmentation of understanding is something which alleviates a concern, alleviates a set of concerns, instantiates a set of concerns, or proves the placement of the concern with the highest order of precedence. This happens everytime, in some capacity, as any change of perspective must be reflected in one's understanding of survival, or one's position with respect to whether they are to be concerned with survival (for example: attempting to achieve a state of Zen).
This fear of life is why so many who have been conditioned to fear and identify Fascism in everything will actually turn away from the fight when it truly presents itself, or will even lazily defend it while using it as a stepping stone for their privilege. To cheer for the boot which stamps, rather than the mind which resists and uses quick thought and cunning to keep the spirit of humanity alive.
